Be Prepared: Dry Ice Solutions for Emergency Cooling Applications

Dry ice, also known as the solid form of carbon dioxide, is a versatile and effective solution for emergency cooling applications. In instances where traditional cooling methods are unavailable, or not the best choice, dry ice offers a reliable option for preserving temperature-sensitive goods while maintaining critical conditions. From responding to power outages, natural disasters or transportation delays, having a reliably supply of dry ice on hand can be game changing in ensuring the safety and integrity of sensitive materials. 

At nexAir, our carbonic facilities deliver a steady supply of dry ice to many different types of businesses, across various industries. Lean onto our KnowHow and keep reading to learn more about dry ice and the solutions it offers for emergency cooling applications. 

A powerful cooling tool

One of the biggest advantages of dry ice is its ability to provide rapid and intense cooling without the need for electricity or mechanical refrigeration. For instance, when traditional cooling systems fail or are not within reach, dry ice can step in as a temporary, yet powerful alternative. Its extremely low temperature of -78.5 degrees celsius makes it a top choice for quickly lowering the temperature of perishable items, vaccines, medical supplies and other heat-sensitive products. 

Dry ice in emergency situations

In emergency situations, like power outages or natural disasters, the reliability of dry ice cooling properties can help to prevent spoilage while preserving the quality of the essential goods. By creating an extremely cold environment that inhibits bacterial growth and slows down chemical reactions, dry ice helps to extend the shelf life of perishable items and ensures that critical supplies remain in good condition and safe for longer periods of time. 

A clean cooling option

Another great property of dry ice is that it is a clean and environmentally friendly cooling option – as it sublimates without ever leaving behind any type of residue or waste. This makes it a sustainable choice for emergency cooling applications, reducing the environmental impact and minimizing cleanup efforts after use.
