One
liquid tank of CO2 pressurized conserve for a long time. When there is need
of dry ice, you open a valve and waits for approximately 2 minutes, therefore
you remove from the mould preparation room your solid dry ice block.
The best
ones turn out are obtained with CO2 tanks with
large-capacity.
No electrycity
needed.
In
termo-coibentation atmosphere the dry ice can resist until 3 days.
It allows to
obtain dry ice from the CO2. The machine is small and light, it can be
easily used in every moment and every place: to the side of the bench or in
an angle of the laboratory, in the corridor, etc. It produces to the dry ice
from the liquid CO2 through the adiabatic expansion (Joule-Thompson effect). The
liquid CO2 in which the pressure is greater of 60 kg/cm2, it comes forced in
one box where the pressure is equal to that atmospheric one. The
liquid CO2 then vaporizes and expands. When the gas is expanded to the
atmospheric pressure, the expansion box is cooled off and the gas comes out
through an external orifice. Like result the liquid CO2, in the box it much cold
changes to snow directly. The solid dry ice accumulates in the box comes
compressed in asolid block.
OPERATION
Connect the
extremity of the tube-siphon to the compressed CO2 tank,
therefore open the valve of the tank for approximately 50/60
seconds. Check the pressure on the gauge and adjust the valve of
escape of the gas to maintain the needle under the limit of 6bars. When the
gas begins to exit from the fissures of the apparatus, close the valve
of the gas. Open the box loosening the lateral closings to motivating
forceand to extract the dry ice block.

NOTES
The dry ice can be produced using one incorporated CO2
tank with inner siphon.
