Multi-Use Dry Ice Temperature Logger with One External Sensor MP-OE-N-8-L

A dry ice temperature data logger is for recording the temperature inside a box filled up with dry ice during its transportation. Dry ice is solidified Carbon Dioxide (CO2). The temperature of dry ice is around -78.5°C. It will retain its solid form from 12 to 24 hours based on the surrounding environment. Dry ice is useful in the transportation of food, medicines, vaccines, medical samples etc. at low temperatures. In these cases, you fill a thermally insulated box with dry ice and keep the items inside this box. If you want to record the temperature of such items during transportation, you may use a dry ice temperature data logger. The dry ice data logger has an external sensor. You have to insert this sensor into the box and keep the display device outside the box. You can see the current temperature, maximum and minimum temperature etc. on the screen.

FAQ on Dry ice and Dry Ice temperature recorder

1. What is dry ice? Dry ice is solidified Carbon Dioxide (CO2). The temperature of dry ice is around

   -78.5°C. In order to prepare dry ice, Carbon Dioxide gas is pressurized and cooled down until it becomes liquid. Then pressure is lowered. In this process, the liquid becomes solid ice pieces.

2. How long will dry ice remain in solid form? It will retain its solid form from 12 to 24 hours based on the surrounding environment.

3. What are the applications of dry ice? The temperature of dry ice is -78.5°C. Hence we can use it for faster cooling than ice from water. The dry ice is placed inside boxes for transportation of medicines, vaccines, clinical samples, frozen food etc.

4. How to record the temperature of dry ice during transportation? In order to measure and record the temperature of dry ice during transportation, you may use dry ice data loggers. These come with an external sensor attached to a temperature recorder. You have to keep the recorder out of the box after inserting the sensor into the box.
