Product Information

Dry ice pellets have a surface temperature of -78.6 degrees C, so when they are fed into the insulated boxes we use for packing and despatch, the first thing to happen is that some of the ice will be used up to cool down the box. When the box is cold inside, but still at room temperature outside, heat will flow into the box and attempt to get the inside down to room temperature, so more ice will be used to absorb this heat. This process will continue until all the ice has been used up.

The time taken to use up all the dry ice by these processes will depend on:
– the insulating properties of the box material and its thickness
– the outside temperature
– the amount of ice in the box

To minimise losses we use a good quality thick walled Polybox which is chosen to balance cost against performance.

Box sizes: (external L x W x H mm)

Average Losses: assuming the box remains closed and it is kept in a cool shady location.
D1 = Day 1 losses(kg), D2 = Day 2 losses(kg).

If the whole box can go in a freezer, these times will be extended.
Losses will be slightly lower for 16 mm pellets.
