Morphology

carbonation + system

The phrase is a straightforward noun-noun compound: 'carbonation' (the process of adding CO2) combined with 'system' (a set of interacting components) yields a system for performing carbonation. This compositional pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reliably infer the meaning.

Etymology

Carbonation system comes from the plain image of adding 'carbon' gas into a drink. The carbonation part means making bubbles and the system part is the group of machines and pipes that do it, so the phrase means the set of machines that make drinks 'fizzy'.
