Uses of Liquid Carbon Dioxide
Freezing and Refrigerating Food Products: Liquid CO2 is used as a coolant to keep food at a constant temperature during storage and transportation.
Food-grade carbon dioxide is used in the production of soft drinks and carbonated beer, and also helps preserve bottled soft drinks.
Decaffeinating Coffee: The main reason is because CO2 is a safe, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly solvent. When liquid CO2 comes into contact with ground coffee beans, it dissolves the caffeine without affecting the overall flavor and quality of the coffee.
Fire Extinguishers: The non-flammable properties of liquid CO2 allow it to safely and effectively extinguish fires by cooling the surface, preventing further damage.
Entertainment Industry: When CO2 is liquefied and released into the air, it creates an attractive fog or haze effect, creating a romantic, mystical atmosphere, depending on the use and purpose of the event. This effect can be manipulated to create dramatic scenes in television and film production, as well as creating an exciting atmosphere and feeling in live performances.
Production of dry ice for cooling purposes in industrial applications.
