Dry Ice Increasing Preference for Dry Ice over Water-based Ice
The dry ice has a low temperature than water-based ice. When it is heated, it directly changes into the gas and does not leave any residue. The dry ice is cost effective and has non-combustible and non-toxic properties. It is also used to make carbonated drinks and soda. When mechanical refrigeration is not an option, ice is an important component of both food storage and transport. Water-based ice melts very quickly and cannot be used for storage or transportation of products. Dry ice provides superior cooling and longevity. A large block of ice can cool for as long as 24 hours in a vented cooler before requiring replacement. Regular ice, on the other hand, can begin to melt in just three to four hours. Since it’s made from liquefied carbon dioxide gas that has been frozen to extremely low temperatures of -109.3F, dry ice’s exceptionally cold temperature allows packaged frozen products to stay in a frozen state for extended periods. Hence, for food items like ice cream, dry ice is essential. Another advantage dry ice has over regular ice is in food storage and transport. Besides causing the items being transported from becoming warmer as the regular ice melts, water will begin to accumulate within containers, potentially resulting in leakage. Dry ice evaporates into a gas through a process called sublimation which allows the container to remain free of water even after several hours. These benefits of dry ice increase its use over water-based ice in the food preservation, machine blast cleaning, and pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, water- based ice have a very limited application scope, whereas dry ice has various applications, including, cold grinding, dry ice blast cleaning, freeze drying, in-process cooling for chemical and food industry, plumbing pipe repairs, sample distribution within pharmaceutical industry, shrink fitting, special effects, etc. The versatility of dry ice and its use as an effective alternative to conventional electric power-based cooling system is expected to boost the demand for dry ice.
