1.What is dry ice?

        First, let’s understand what dry ice is. Dry ice, also known as carbon dioxide solid (CO2), is the product of compressing carbon dioxide gas into a solid. In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide gas is compressed into a solid form, forming dry ice.

        Dry ice is colorless and odorless. It is a non-toxic and harmless cleaning material and is widely used in various cleaning fields. In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide gas is compressed into a solid form, forming dry ice.The temperature of dry ice is usually minus 78.5 degrees Celsius, which is its sublimation point, that is, the temperature at which it changes directly from solid to gaseous state. Dry ice is in a solid state at room temperature and does not pass through the liquid stage. It directly changes from solid to gaseous state when it sublimates.

        Dry ice is mainly used in refrigeration, transportation, and cleaning fields. In the field of cleaning, dry ice impacts the surface of objects through high-speed airflow to achieve a cleaning effect. Dry ice produces a large amount of carbon dioxide gas when it sublimates, which may lead to an increase in carbon dioxide concentration in a closed space. While generally not very toxic, the outgassing from it can cause hypercapnia (abnormally elevated carbon dioxide levels in the blood) due to buildup in confined locations Please pay attention to safety.


2.The origin of dry ice

        The history of dry ice can be traced back to the 18th and early 19th centuries, and is related to the discovery and research of carbon dioxide.

- Discovery of Carbon Dioxide: Chemists Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Humphry Davy studied carbon dioxide in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac independently discovered carbon dioxide in 1800, Henry Varnon continued to study it after 1800. They noticed that, through specific experiments, carbon dioxide gas could be compressed and liquefied.However, the discovery of carbon dioxide is usually attributed to Scottish chemist Joseph Black, who first discovered it in the 1750s.

- Liquefying Carbon Dioxide: Experiments to liquefy carbon dioxide were conducted in the 1830s. The French physicist and engineer Adolphe Théodore Brongniart performed experiments related to carbon dioxide in 1835, but he did not successfully liquefy the carbon dioxide. After 1835, French engineer Charles Thilorier completed experiments to liquefy carbon dioxide and successfully achieved this. He used high pressure and the right temperature to convert carbon dioxide gas into a liquid state.The first successful liquefaction of carbon dioxide is usually attributed to the efforts of French chemist Charles Cagniard de la Tour in 1822.

- Discovery of Dry Ice: The discovery of dry ice is attributed to French scientists Louis-Joseph Gay-Lussac and Henri Victor Regnault, They noticed that when liquid carbon dioxide was released into the atmosphere, the surrounding air caused rapid cooling and crystallization of the carbon dioxide into a solid state. They observed that these solid forms were similar to ice, but because they did not pass through a liquid state, they were called "dry" ice. In 1824, they successfully prepared dry ice for the first time.However, the term "dry ice" is most commonly associated with American inventor Thomas Benton, who began producing and selling dry ice on a large scale in the early 20th century.


3. Detailed functions of Dry Ice Cleaning machine

        Next, let’s take a closer look at the wonders of dry ice blasting. Dry ice cleaning machine is an efficient and environmentally friendly cleaning equipment. Its working principle is to use high-speed spraying of dry ice particles to quickly freeze and crush dirt and grease through the instantaneous alternating hot and cold effect to achieve the purpose of cleaning the surface. Compared with traditional cleaning methods, dry ice cleaning does not produce secondary pollution and does not require cleaning residues. It is suitable for cleaning various complex surfaces and equipment.

- Efficient cleaning: The dry ice cleaning machine can clean the surface of the object in a very short time by spraying small particles of dry ice at high speed. These small particles hit the surface at high speeds during the blasting process, quickly freezing and breaking up dirt, grease, and other contaminants.

- Non-conductive: The cleaning medium of the dry ice cleaning machine is solid carbon dioxide, and dry ice is non-conductive. Therefore, it can be safely used to clean electronic equipment, electrical components and other static-sensitive equipment without causing short circuits or electrical malfunctions.

- No residue: Dry ice sublimates directly into gas during the cleaning process, leaving no moisture or liquid residue. This makes dry ice cleaning suitable for applications that require high cleaning results and no residue, such as food production lines or medical equipment cleaning.

- Environmentally friendly: Dry ice blasting is an environmentally friendly cleaning method because it does not use chemical cleaners and carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring gas in the atmosphere and does not cause harm to the environment. The waste after cleaning is mainly the removed pollutants, and there is no need to process a large amount of chemical waste liquid.

- Suitable for a variety of surfaces: Dry ice cleaning machines are suitable for cleaning a variety of different materials and surfaces, including metal, plastic, rubber, glass, etc. It can be used in many industries such as cleaning machinery and equipment, automobile parts, building surfaces, food processing equipment, etc.

- Reduced downtime: Because dry ice cleaning requires no drying time, cleaned equipment or surfaces can be put into use almost immediately, reducing production line downtime and improving work efficiency.

- Remove difficult-to-clean dirt: Dry ice cleaning has unique advantages for some dirt that is difficult to clean with traditional methods, such as grease, gelatinous substances, pigments, etc. It can quickly freeze these dirt, making it fragile and easy to remove.

        To sum up, the detailed functions of dry ice cleaning machines cover many aspects such as efficient cleaning, non-conductivity, no residue, environmental protection, suitable for a variety of surfaces, reducing downtime, etc., making it widely used in various industries.


4. What can the dry ice cleaning machine be used for?


        Dry ice cleaning machine is a multi-functional cleaning tool suitable for multiple industries and application scenarios. The following are common uses for dry ice cleaning machines:

· Industrial equipment cleaning: Dry ice cleaning machines can be used to clean various types of industrial equipment, including mechanical parts, production line equipment, engines, pumps and valves, etc. It effectively removes grease, dirt and other contaminants without damaging equipment surfaces.

· Car maintenance: Dry ice cleaning machine can be used for car maintenance and cleaning, cleaning engine compartment, wheels, chassis and other parts. Due to the non-conductive nature of dry ice, electrical components and sensors can be safely cleaned without causing electrical malfunctions.

· Food and catering equipment cleaning: Dry ice cleaning is suitable for cleaning food production lines and catering equipment. It can remove residual food particles, grease and bacteria and ensure that the equipment meets hygienic standards.

· Building surface cleaning: Dry ice cleaning machine can be used to clean building surfaces, including walls, floors, beams and columns, etc. It effectively removes paint, coatings, stains and other contamination without causing damage to the surface.

· Electronic Equipment Cleaning: Due to the non-conductive nature of dry ice, dry ice cleaning machines can safely clean electronic equipment, circuit boards, computer equipment, etc., removing dust and dirt and improving equipment performance and reliability.

· Aerospace industry: Dry ice blasting is also widely used in the aerospace industry for cleaning aircraft engines, aviation parts and ground equipment. It effectively removes oil and residue from engines without causing mechanical wear.

· Art and Relic Protection: Dry ice blasting machines are used for the cleaning and protection of art and relics because of their ability to gently and efficiently remove contaminants from surfaces without causing damage to the artwork.

· Stone and sculpture cleaning: Dry ice cleaning can be used to clean stone surfaces and sculptures to remove surface dirt, algae, moss, etc., and restore the original appearance of the stone.
