    About Dry Ice

    Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, a normal part of our earth’s atmosphere. It is the gas that we exhale during breathing and the gas that plants use in photosynthesis. It is also the same gas commonly added to water to make soda water. It is particularly useful for freezing, and keeping things frozen because of its very cold temperature: -109.3øF or -78.5øC.

    It is widely used because it is simple to freeze and easy to handle using insulated gloves. It changes directly from a solid to a gas -sublimation- in normal atmospheric conditions without going through a wet liquid stage. Therefore, it gets the name “dry ice.”

    As a general rule, it will sublimate at a rate of five to ten pounds every 24 hours in a typical ice chest. This sublimation continues from the time of purchase; therefore, pick it up as close to the time needed as possible. Bring an ice chest or some other insulated container to hold it and slow the sublimation rate. It sublimates faster than regular ice melts but will extend the life of regular ice.

    It is best not to store it in your freezer because your freezer’s thermostat will shut off the freezer due to its extreme cold! Of course, if the freezer is broken, it will save all your frozen goods.

    Commercial shippers of perishables often use dry ice even for non-frozen goods. It gives more than twice the cooling energy per pound of weight and three times the cooling energy per volume than regular water ice (H2O).

    It is often mixed with regular ice to save shipping weight and extend the cooling energy of water ice. Sometimes it is made on the spot from liquid CO2. The resulting snow is packed in the top of a shipping container offering extended cooling without electrical refrigeration equipment and connections.
