Using dry ice to keep things cold

Using dry ice to keep things cold #1

Modern realities in Ukraine compel the search for reliable solutions to maintain required temperature conditions. Frequent power outages jeopardize the safety of food, medicine, raw materials, and other temperature-sensitive materials. This is why wholesale dry ice is becoming an indispensable solution for businesses, logistics companies, and even private households. Its use is not just an alternative to refrigeration equipment, but a true lifesaver in situations where electricity is unavailable.

Dry ice is an effective source of cold

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO₂) that evaporates directly into a gas rather than liquid. This means it leaves no moisture, doesn't damage packaging, and doesn't create additional waste. Its temperature is approximately –78°C, providing fast and stable cooling for any space, from cold storage rooms to shipping containers.

We at GNAT Dry Ice Systems conducted an experiment using dry ice to cool a retail display case. The results were very successful: within half an hour, the display case temperature dropped to the desired level and remained stable for a long time. This effect helps keep products fresh even during power outages.

A safe and environmentally friendly solution

One of the key advantages of dry ice is its complete eco-friendliness. It contains no toxic substances and leaves no odor or residue after use. During sublimation (conversion into gas), dry ice simply evaporates without polluting the environment. This makes it an ideal solution for storing food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Unlike traditional refrigeration methods, dry ice requires no electricity, compressors, or specialized equipment. This means you can maintain cold anywhere, even during transport or in the field.

Where is dry ice used to maintain cold?

  1. Food industry
    Companies use dry ice to transport frozen foods, seafood, meat, milk, and confectionery. It helps maintain the required temperature even during long journeys without refrigeration.

  2. Pharmaceutics and medicine
    Dry ice is used to transport vaccines, medications, and biomaterials that require stable temperatures. This is especially important during long-distance logistics or in areas without power supply.

  3. Logistics and courier delivery
    Cryocooling allows companies to ship perishable goods without risk of loss. Dry ice maintains a stable temperature for several hours or even days, depending on the volume and storage conditions.

  4. Retail and cafes-restaurants
    During power outages, dry ice helps maintain the required temperature in display cases, refrigerators, and freezers. This prevents spoilage of products and minimizes financial losses.

  5. Household use
    At home, dry ice can be used to cool food while traveling, camping, or having picnics. It's also effective during power outages.

Benefits of using dry ice

  • Rapid cooling. Capable of reducing the temperature in a display case or container in minutes.
  • Long-lasting cold retention. Dry ice evaporates slowly, maintaining a stable temperature for several hours or even days.
  • Safety. Contains no harmful impurities and does not affect product quality.
  • Cost-effective. Requires no additional energy or complex maintenance.
  • Mobility. Suitable for transport, field use, and backup cooling.

At a time when power supply can be unstable, dry ice is not just an alternative, but a reliable solution for maintaining cold. It helps avoid business losses, preserve product quality, and ensure the safe transportation of medications.
