LEARNING MORE ABOUT CARBON DIOXIDE

An important part of maintaining a carbon dioxide dry ice pelletizer is understanding

the properties of CO

. Therefore, maintenance and service of your pelletizer should

be performed only by a qualified carbon dioxide equipment technician.

To start or increase your knowledge of carbon dioxide, we recommend that you be-

gin with the pamphlets and literature from the CGA (Compressed Gas Association).

The CGA has a number of pamphlets and videos on CO

and CO

equipment.

We recommend:

G-6 Carbon Dioxide

G-6.1 Standard for Low Pressure Carbon Dioxide Systems at Consumer Sites

G-6.4 Safe Transfer of Low Pressure Liquefied Carbon Dioxide in Cargo Tanks,

Tank Cars and Portable Containers

AV-7 Characteristics and Safe Handling of Carbon Dioxide

The CGA has other publications, videos, etc. that pertain to the CO

and CO

equip-

ment. Contact the CGA for a list of available publications at:
