Original Abstract

Dry ice blasting is a technology that requires large amounts of compressed air which is among the most expensive forms of energy currently employed in industries. Compressed air (air of high pressure and volume) accelerates particles of dry ice during the blasting. Our paper presents a comprehensive overview of saving measures which can greatly help decrease energy intensity of the blasting. The paper presents also a novel quantity which helps quantify and evaluate energy consumption of dry ice blasting.
