Both flasks are submerged in a dry ice/acetone cooling bath (−78 °C) the temperature of which is being monitored by a thermocouple (the wire on the left). A cooling bath or ice bath , in laboratory chemistry practice, is a liquid mixture which is used to maintain low temperatures, typically between 13 °C and −196 °C.
Core plugs can also sometimes prevent freeze damage to the motor. During the early stages of the freezing of the engine coolant a freeze plug will sometimes burst, and thus allow the coolant to exit the engine, before it might expand within the engine during the freezing process and potentially crack the engine block.

But those of us who live in cold climates know there's one thing that is the literal worst: scraping the ice off your car after an overnight or early morning freeze.

The density of dry ice increases with decreasing temperature and ranges between about 1.55 and 1.7 g/cm 3 (97 and 106 lb/cu ft) below 195 K (−78 °C; −109 °F). [3] The low temperature and direct sublimation to a gas makes dry ice an effective coolant, since it is colder than water ice and leaves no residue as it changes state. [4]
Directly heating the coolant is more fuel-efficient than using the engine's waste heat, reducing fuel consumption and emissions. [25] In general, coolant heaters burn 1/8 as much fuel as an idling engine would, simultaneously emitting 1/20 of the emissions and directing heat significantly faster to the passenger compartment.

Priority violation: Mold-like substance on front of ice machine baffle and upper interior of ice machine. Cracked and melted pans on clean ware rack. Corrected on site and voluntarily discarded.
Dry-ice blasting is nonabrasive, non-conductive, nonflammable, and non-toxic. Dry-ice blasting is an efficient [3] [verification needed] cleaning method. Dry ice is made of reclaimed carbon dioxide that is produced from other industrial processes, and is an approved media by the EPA, FDA and USDA. It also reduces or eliminates employee exposure ...
