This is the portable device that is capable of producing a 1 lb. block
of dry ice in as little as 60 seconds for keeping foods and beverages
cold at picnics and parties. At -109.3 F, dry ice is a more effective
coolant than regular ice, and it won't melt, but instead sublimates to
odorless CO2 gas. The device requires connection to a cylinder of
compressed liquid CO2 with a dip tube or siphon (not included, cylinder
with dip tube/siphon must be purchased from local gas dealers or
welding supply shops). Upon opening the cylinder's valve, CO2 is forced
into the device's chamber, where it vaporizes, expands, and becomes
extremely cold; excess vapor is vented through its vertical filter
slots, and the remaining vapor accumulates in the chamber and is
compressed into a 7" L x 3" W x 2" D block of dry ice. One 50-lb. CO2
cylinder at room temperature yields up to 11 blocks of dry ice,
handling requires use of insulated gloves (not included). 8 1/2" H x 4
1/2" W. (5 lbs.)
