Titan Controls Ares 4 – Four Burner NG CO2 Generator – 10.8 CUFT/HR

The Titan Controls Ares 4 is a four-burner natural gas CO2 generator rated at 10.8 CUFT/HR. It provides a clean, efficient way to raise CO2 levels in enclosed grow spaces. The Ares 4 ships as a complete kit — generator, AC power supply, hanging chain, ceiling hook, hose, and regulator — so you can connect a natural gas source and begin enriching your grow area without sourcing additional parts.

Why Choose the Titan Controls Ares 4

CO2 is scientifically proven to improve plant performance when elevated above ambient atmospheric levels. The Ares 4 delivers that enrichment through combustion of natural gas, producing CO2 as a direct byproduct. Here is what distinguishes this unit:

• Complete kit, no missing parts. The Ares 4 includes the generator, AC power supply, hanging chain, ceiling hook, hose, and regulator. The only external requirement is a natural gas supply line — everything else is in the box.
• Four-burner output. With four burners running, the Ares 4 produces CO2 at 10.8 CUFT/HR. This output is suited to mid-size and larger enclosed grow rooms where a single- or two-burner unit would fall short.
• Clean and efficient CO2 production. Natural gas combustion in a well-tuned burner produces CO2 and water vapor with minimal incomplete combustion byproducts, making it a practical enrichment method for enclosed environments with adequate ventilation management.
• Hang-mount design. The included hanging chain and ceiling hook allow the unit to be suspended overhead, which helps distribute CO2 downward as it is denser than air and tends to settle toward the plant canopy.
• Titan Controls build quality. Titan Controls is a dedicated horticultural controls manufacturer. The Ares Series is designed specifically for the demands of indoor growing environments.

Best Uses for the Titan Controls Ares 4

The Ares 4 is sized and configured for growers who need consistent, high-volume CO2 delivery in enclosed spaces connected to a permanent natural gas supply.

• Medium to large indoor grow rooms. At 10.8 CUFT/HR, the Ares 4 is capable of maintaining elevated CO2 levels in grow rooms of several hundred square feet when cycled appropriately via a CO2 controller.
• Commercial and semi-commercial cultivation facilities. Facilities with permanent natural gas lines and dedicated grow rooms benefit from the generator approach over tank-based CO2 systems, as there is no cylinder to swap or refill.
• Sealed or semi-sealed grow environments. CO2 enrichment is most effective when the grow space is sealed or has controlled air exchange. The Ares 4 pairs well with environmental controllers and CO2 monitors that maintain a target PPM setpoint.
• Growers running CO2 on a timer or controller cycle. The 120V AC input allows the Ares 4 to be switched on and off by a compatible CO2 controller or timer. This makes it straightforward to integrate into an automated environmental control setup. A CO2 controller such as those from Autopilot handles the switching; you can also pair it with an Autopilot lighting and environment controller to coordinate light and CO2 cycles.
• Setups where tank refills are impractical. In remote grows or facilities where bringing in CO2 cylinders is logistically difficult, a natural gas generator fed from a building supply line is a more reliable long-term solution.

Compatibility & Operating Requirements

Before purchasing the Ares 4, confirm your facility meets the following requirements:

• Natural gas supply line required. The Ares 4 is a natural gas (NG) unit only. It is not compatible with propane. A dedicated natural gas shutoff valve and appropriate connection point at the installation location are necessary. The included hose and regulator connect to a standard natural gas supply.
• Standard 120V / 60Hz electrical outlet. The unit draws 1.5 amps at 120V / 60Hz. A standard grounded household or commercial outlet in proximity to the hang point is sufficient.
• CO2 controller or timer recommended. The Ares 4 does not include a CO2 monitor or controller. To maintain a target PPM range rather than running continuously, connect the unit to a CO2 controller capable of switching a 120V load. Running the generator without a controller in a sealed room can rapidly elevate CO2 beyond effective or safe levels for human entry.
• Adequate ventilation management. CO2 generators produce heat and water vapor in addition to CO2. Plan your HVAC and dehumidification accordingly. A condensate management system may be relevant if humidity accumulation is a concern in your setup.
• Overhead mounting clearance. The hang-mount design requires sufficient ceiling height to suspend the unit safely above the plant canopy. Adequate clearance also helps with heat dispersion from the burners.
• Proper air circulation. Because CO2 is denser than air, pairing the Ares 4 with a circulation fan — such as an Active Air pedestal fan — helps distribute CO2 evenly across the canopy rather than allowing it to stratify at floor level.
