Frozen CO2 cartridges

[davelarson]

I’m wondering about a mistake I just made. I left a can full of CO2 cartridges outside in below freezing weather for a week. They stayed dry but definitely went down to 10 degrees. Are they going to be usable still? Thanks for any advice.

As long as the cylinders are still sealed then they will be fine. Just bring them inside and let them warm up.

Thanks Elbowgrease, they look fine.

Frozen CO2 is also known as "Dry Ice" and is roughly 100 degrees below zero.

Unless you are in the Antarctic you will be fine.

Close enough TP3RANCH,

The freezing (or sublimation) point of carbon dioxide is -78.5 degrees Celsius, or -109.2 degrees Fahrenheit. That's mighty cold, no issues with global warming at least.
