How to store edible dry ice

Dry ice is a solid gas whose main component is carbon dioxide. Dry ice is widely used in modern life, especially in the food industry, which requires a large amount of dry ice to preserve food, prevent food from spoiling, etc. This part of dry ice is also called edible dry ice. However, due to its low vaporization temperature and fast evaporation rate, it is difficult to preserve in life. Let’s take a look at how to best preserve edible dry ice.

The temperature of dry ice is minus 78 degrees Celsius, so if you want to preserve it for a long time, you must have low temperature conditions, otherwise it will be difficult to store it for a long time. Some customers may ask, is there any way to preserve dry ice for a longer time? With an ultra-low temperature refrigerator, the preservation effect will be better, and the lower the temperature, the longer the preservation time and the longer the effective service life. When you buy dry ice, it usually comes with a foam insulated box to store a small amount of dry ice. An engineer from the Hanna Dry Ice Factory said that there is a lot of knowledge involved in how to store dry ice in foam boxes to reduce losses.

First, find a comfortable home for dry ice

You don't have to use a special storage box to store dry ice. A thick foam insulation box will work just fine. You can also place the insulated box and dry ice in a cool, dry and ventilated place, or put them together with the insulated box in a refrigerator or freezer to meet the light-proof, heat-proof and moisture-proof environment required for most dry ice storage, and it is convenient for use.

Secondly, environmental factors have a great impact on the storage of dry ice

In particular, changes in temperature have the greatest impact on the preservation of dry ice. A lot of dry ice is wasted because there are no well-insulated storage boxes and correct operating methods. For example, when using dry ice, please tighten the lid and seal the box after taking it. And remember, don't forget to put dry ice in an air-conditioned room in the winter to keep it warm with other people. Doing so will speed up the consumption of dry ice. In addition, if there is too much carbon dioxide gas in the greenhouse, it will cause people to have difficulty breathing and suffocate to death.
