Are you supposed to freeze CO2?

Question

I have a 20oz CO2 tank for paintball and im wondering if refridgerating/ freezing the tank preserves CO2

Thats what ive heard THX

Answer 1

That's a horrible idea. CO2 is already frozen in you tank. The idea is to warm it up, so it expands into a gas, that way you will get more shots from it. But don't intentionally heat it, like putting it in an oven, because that will make the tank blow up.  

Answer 2

Putting it in the freezer will do nothing to preserve it.  Some guys will put a bottle in the freezer to make it easier to fill, that's probably where the story you heard started.

Answer 3

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 4

WTF

bad idea dont do that the tank will explode

the tanks works the best at room temp

Answer 5

Negative. Not in a chance. Look, its frozen as it goes in to the tank. If you shoot really fast, you can feel it go through your grip and its freezing.

Never, ever do that.

Answer 6

you cant freeze co2 in your freezer. co2 freezes at -110f so there will be no harm in putting it in your freezer, but i can't think of any reason why it would preserve it. unless your bottle is leaking.

Answer 7

No co2 will explode your freezer
