Hi all,

I have multiple CO2 bottles connected by a header to two regulators in series. The second regulator acts as the protection device in case the first stage regulator fails. I am having an issue where the second regulator tends to freeze up due to the JT effect. This is a high flow application.

Do you guys have any recommendations to mitigate the freezing effect? I am currently looking at either an inline heater or heating blankets on the CO2 tanks.

Thanks!
