A whipped cream dispenser is an aluminum or stainless steel device, which relies on 8-gram gas bulbs to pressurize the canister to instantly dissolve the gas into the liquids. When the cream dispenser’s valve is opened by pressing the lever the liquid is forced out of the nozzle by the high pressure, expanding the bubbles instantly to transform the liquid into a whip, mousse or foam.

How does a whipped cream dispenser make whipped cream?

To make whipped cream you must use a thickening (whipping) cream. This cream has an optimal fat content between 27-36%. When charging the N20 cream charger into the canister the N20 instantly dissolves into the fat. When the lever is pressed it releases the pressure causing the nitrous oxide to expand within the fat molecule,  dispensing whipped cream.

This is why making whipped cream with a whipped cream dispenser creates 4x the amount as opposed to whipping air into the cream which produces half as much.

 

Will all liquids do this?

No, not all liquids alone will create whip’s, mousses or foams. However, you are able to infuse all liquids.

 

Can you use any gas?

No, only 8-gram nitrous oxide cream chargers (N2O) or in extremely rare recipes CO2 bulbs. Nitrous oxide is used because it dissolves easily with the liquid and does not oxidize while in the canister. N20 in cream chargers also inhibits bacteria growth is odourless and tasteless. N20 bulbs can also be referred to as; cream chargers, whipped cream chargers, cartridges, chargers, nitrous cream charger, whipped cream cartridges, whippets or nangs.

 

How-To Use a Whipped Cream Dispenser

Start with a whipped cream dispenser recipe and putting the dispenser on a flat surface.

Screw the head of the dispenser off of the container

Put in desired liquids, syrups, sugars or extracts.

Screw the head of the dispenser back on.

Take 1 cream charger and insert it into your charger holder.

Screw the charger holder onto the pin of your dispenser until you hear the gas escape ( it is not uncommon to have a little gas escape during this process).

Shake the dispenser to mix the gas with the contents.

Turn the dispenser tip down and press the lever to disperse.

How-To Clean Your Whipped Cream Dispenser

Don’t put the head of your whipped cream dispenser into the dishwasher, we recommend you wash it by hand.

Start by removing the tip and cartridge holder.

Turn the dispenser head over and remove the rubber or silicone gasket and pull the head valve out of the head. Note that some dispenser head valves cannot be removed. If you are not sure; give it a soft tug.

Clean each of the parts separately with dish soap and water.

Take the head of the dispenser without parts and clean it with dish soap and water until clean.

Let all contents dry

Once dry put them back into the head as they were.

Most whipped cream dispensers canisters are dishwasher safe. If you’re not sure if your canister is we recommend washing it by hand.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING CREAM WHIPPERS?

 

The alternative to using cream whippers often involves adding calorie or fat-rich stabilisers such as gelatine or agar. As cream whippers aerate the cream in a closed system, it is chilled instantly and so does not need the extra ingredients to keep it light and airy. This also results in a cleaner, brighter taste because these stabilizers are easily noticable and tend to hide the true flavor of your creations.

Another clear advantage of using cream whippers is the ability to preserve and keep sauces and foams fresh for longer, so they can be prepared in advance to save time. Due to the airtight confinements of the canister, even the most delicate mixtures (containing egg or dairy) can potentially last over a week when stored in this way. In a professional kitchen, this time period is more likely to be over the course of a few days, but this is a great method of preservation.

Cream whippers can also be used to give volume and body to sauces and dressings that may not otherwise be aerated. This gives plenty of room for experimentation in your recipes. As air is added to the mix, the sauce is able to cling to foods more easily too (ideal for coating pasta), but also makes the flavors more obvious. It's also good news for your food budget too, as with the added gas the aerated mixture goes much further than it would normally.

Chemical injection pump is used to inject methanol or ethylene glycol into a fluid at the upstream of choke manifold to prevent the hydrate of formation fluid icing up due to the pressure drop, increases the reliability of the well test system and the pressure drop range above / below the choke, to restore the oil (gas) well to normal operation.

It injects liquid chemical with accurate injection volume in the processing. The chemicals injected are usually methanol, ethylene glycol, preservative, deoxidizer, drilling fluid additive (caustic soda and liquid polymer) and defoamer. In the process of water treatment, add chemicals to tap water, waste water and sewage, can also be used for the quantitative transportation of reaction materials to a high pressure reaction kettle.

These hydrostatic test pumps also known as hydrostatic line testers ensure that the pipes used for transferring water and other fluids or gases are safe to use. They will detect a leak no matter how small it may be. They are also used on newly installed pipes to ensure they are safe and connected well.

Hydrostatic test pumps are also used to check old systems and repair pipes. Using these pumps is the fastest and most reliable way to check for leakage in any pipe system. They are durable and very dependable.

 

To protect the life of your pump you need to make sure that you choose the correct test pump for the job at hand. Make sure that it is installed correctly. You can use the system layout and pump applications to ensure you are using the correct system and installing it properly. Always use proper maintenance procedures to keep your test pump in perfect working condition.

Using Hydrostatic Test Pumps

Hydrostatic testing is done to see if pipes have any leakage. The way it works is by first pumping water into a closed pipeline. Once the system is shut and locked you can test for any leakage in the pipeline.

Many pumps are Honda-powered and have been pre-tested and serviced to make sure they are ready to be used. These models' diaphragm and crankcase have a unique design called “oil bath” to keep the smooth operation of the crankcase. Diaphragm pumps are very durable and resistant to various chemicals can cleaning solutions.

Hydrostatic Test Pumps Designs

Hydrostatic test pumps are built for convenience to make your job as easy as possible. Many of these pumps have rear-facing controls that make it easy for you to reach and use them. The value that gives you access to the discharge hose or the high-pressure hose is located on the side of the pump.

Hydrostatic test pumps are normally installed on frames that are steady and built to last. They are made from aircraft aluminum or powder-coated tubing that is lightweight to make it easier to handle. Aircraft type of aluminum is not only durable but it is also resistant to chemicals and rust. Most models even have pneumatic wheels to make maneuvering easier. Other features include a garden hose inlet and shut-off valve.

Many of these pumps are designed with a damper diaphragm that prevents busting and a bypass valve that relieves pressure during the start-up process. They are even designed to be run dry if necessary.

 

 

 

The main components of hydrostatic test pumpsThe pump

Most hydrostatic test pumps rely on piston- or plunger-type pumps that work best with pressurized water supplies. In order to use them with a non-pressurized water source, starting a gravity feed—essentially, using gravity as the pressure source needed to flow water into the pump—is typically enough to create positive flow. Simply place the pump at a lower elevation than the container holding the supply of water, turn it on with the priming valve open, and let gravity do its work.

In newer models, the pump is often attached directly to the face of the motor—eliminating the shaft common in older machines. This improvement leads to fewer moving parts, less maintenance, and lower overall weight.

The power source

Hydrostatic test pump motors generally rely on three main power sources: battery power, plug-in electric, and gas. Motor size, or horsepower, is determined by the amount of pressure and volume required.

Here’s a word to the wise: For plug-in electric and battery-powered pumps, don’t forget to check whether the power source meets the motor’s electrical requirements. That includes any voltage, phase, hertz, and amperage requirements noted by the manufacturer. It’s also important to check whether the pump’s parts have enough oil and any other needed fluids before testing begins, including the engine crankcase, gear reduction, and gas tanks.

Bypass/pressure regulator

Fire protection systems—especially small ones—can pressurize very quickly. To avoid damage, some pumps, such as Triple R’s HT-89A, include pressure regulators that keep pressure in check without minute-by-minute monitoring.

Regulators can be preset to close off the water supply after detecting that the outlet pressure has hit a specific number. A full-flow bypass then diverts water directed at the outlet hose back into the pump itself.

But while pressure regulators are a useful fail-safe that enables contractors to focus on more important tasks than continuously monitoring system pressure, it’s still wise to check in on the pump. Friction from recirculation causes water to become increasingly hot, which can damage the pump if the regulator runs for too long. What counts as too long can vary from a few minutes to an hour, so be sure to check your manufacturer’s recommendations before performing a test.

On a related note, hydrostatic test pumps generally employ two methods of maintaining system pressure after the supply line or outlet hose is disconnected. Some pumps close off the pressure using a manually operated valve that’s situated at the supply line. Others rely on an in-line check valve that activates automatically when water flows in the wrong direction, as happens when a pump shuts off.

The gauge

Hydrostatic test pumps include a gauge that indicates the pressure supplied to the system. Read this carefully: that’s different from system pressure, which is measured by a separate gauge.

A test pump’s gauge must be capable of reading up to two times the maximum pump pressure. Put simply, if the pump is rated for 300 psi, the gauge must be able to read at least 600 psi. Generally, the middle of the scale on the gauge offers the most accurate readings.

Vibration is the leading cause of gauge failure. Just like any other pump, moving components on hydrostatic test pumps pulse, vibrate, and generate heat when used as intended. Over time, these forces can damage a gauge’s sensitive parts like links and pivots. Eventually, permanent damage and inaccurate readings can result.

The best hydrostatic pumps rely on a gauge filled with a liquid such as silicone or glycerin that help stabilize its needle. Liquid-filled gauges also limit the build-up of condensation, lubricate moving parts, and guard against sudden changes in temperature.
