Carbonation systems are devices used to infuse liquids, typically water or beverages, with carbon dioxide gas. This process creates bubbles, giving drinks a fizzy texture and enhancing their flavor. Commonly found in soft drinks, sparkling water, and beer, carbonation systems can vary in complexity from simple home soda makers to large-scale industrial equipment. These systems work by pressurizing carbon dioxide, which dissolves into the liquid. When the pressure is released, such as when opening a bottle, the gas escapes, forming bubbles. Popular examples of carbonation systems include SodaStream machines and commercial soda dispensers used in restaurants.
