Why is solid carbon dioxide used for refrigeration of food?

The palatability of food lies in its unabashed sincerity in its flavor and texture. If you freeze food it must be thawed to gain back is original texture for example frozen fruits should be thawed to enjoy its actual flavor and texture. read more

Solid carbon dioxide which is usually called 'dry ice' is commonly used for refrigeration because of its properties. Solid carbon dioxide exhibits a property called sublimation. Sublimation is a process in which a solid gets converted directly in to gaseous state other than liquid when exposed to certain temperatures. read more

Carbon dioxide in solid and in liquid form is used for refrigeration and cooling. It is used as an inert gas in chemical processes, in the storage of carbon powder and in fire extinguishers. Metals Industry: Carbon dioxide is used in the manufacture of casting molds to enhance their hardness. read more

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) Carbon dioxide (CO₂) Watch the phase-shifts of CO2 recorded at the Danfoss Refrigeration R&D Laboratory, and follow the fascinating transition between solid, liquid and vapour phases in the pressure chamber and the behaviour in the supercritical region. read more

Carbon dioxide is used to produce carbonated soft drinks and soda water. Large quantities of solid carbon dioxide (i.e. in the form of dry ice) are used in processes requiring large scale refrigeration. Carbon dioxide is also used in fire extinguishers as a desirable alternative to water for most fires. read more
