Types of Dry Ice and Their Uses in Air Conditioners

Dry ice used in air conditioners is not the pure dry ice typically used in industrial settings. Instead, it is a gel-like dry ice known as gel dry ice. This form of dry ice is created by combining dry ice and water, resulting in a gel-like substance.

Gel dry ice is much colder and has a greater cooling capacity than regular ice, making it ideal for air conditioners. It can provide sustained cooling effects for a longer period of time.

Features of dry ice for air conditioners:

• The dry ice container is made of high-quality, durable plastic to protect the liquid dry ice.
• The gel in the container is composed of chemicals that are safe for both food and human consumption. The chemicals used in the gel comply with TCVN standards and have the necessary licenses and certifications.
• The container is securely sealed to prevent any leakage of the gel.

Using gel dry ice in air conditioners is both beneficial for health and non-harmful. It is important to select dry ice within the recommended temperature range of 10-25 degrees Celsius for optimal usage. Parents should also ensure that children do not handle or consume dry ice.

How to Clean Air Conditioners with Dry Ice

Exploring the Benefits of Utilizing Dry Ice

When purchasing an air conditioner, it usually comes with 1-2 boxes of dry ice. If it doesn’t, you can buy dry ice separately.

To use dry ice for air conditioning, put it in the freezer compartment for approximately 2-3 hours to freeze completely. Once frozen, place the dry ice in the ice storage compartment of the fan for optimal functionality.

Dry ice has a cooling capacity of about 5-8 hours, depending on factors such as fan strength, ice box size, and quality. When the dry ice is no longer cold, you can return it to the freezer compartment for future use.

What is the Recommended Dosage for Using Dry Ice

For small fans, it is recommended to use 1 bag (box) of gel dry ice. For larger fans, it is recommended to use 2 bags (boxes). Use enough dry ice to meet the demand and ensure your health is protected.

While both bags and boxes of gel dry ice serve the same purpose, using a box of gel dry ice offers enhanced safety by preventing potential bag breakage and water leakage.

3 Essential Safety Tips for Using Dry Ice

Tips for Safely Handling Pure Dry Ice

When handling pure dry ice gel, consider the following:

• Handle dry ice with caution to avoid frostbite due to its extremely low temperature.
• Do not store dry ice in a sealed container as it can produce CO2 gas during evaporation, leading to the risk of an explosion.
• Do not consume dry ice and keep it out of reach of children.

Safety Measures for Utilizing Gel Dry Ice on Air Conditioners

Follow these guidelines for safe and effective use of gel dry ice:

• Handle the content with care, keeping it out of children’s reach and avoiding strong impacts that may damage the box.
• If the gel dry ice box cracks or breaks, replace it to prevent any leakage that may diminish or eliminate the cooling effect.
• Select the appropriate size of the dry ice box or bag that matches your ice tray to avoid wastage.
• Do not use the gel dry ice box if it is punctured and do not consume the compound inside. Wash hands thoroughly after coming into contact with gel dry ice.
• When using dry ice with a water container, be careful not to puncture the dry ice box or bag and avoid leaking water to prevent hazards or accidents.
• Ensure that the lid of the gel dry ice box is securely closed.
• Use a gel dry ice box specifically designed for air conditioners.
