Quick question about C02 tank and Ice

[Chromebrew]

Hey guys,

Is there any problems with having a C02 canister in contact with ice inside a modified cooler for dispensing? Do i need to make a barrier to insulate the C02 tank from the ice? Its a 20oz tank made for paintball by the company Spyder. Its a thick walled, solid tank.

My plan currently is to secure the tank and gauges to the back of the cooler with segments of PVC pipe secured with bondo to the sides of the Ice Cube cooler.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

I can't see why there would be any reason to keep the ice from touching it.

Co2 only turns to ice when being released into a low pressure environment, it won't freeze while under pressure in the tank.

Drop that bad boy on down to about -60c and it will freeze solid in the tank under pressure.

Awesome thanks fellas. That's what i figured, no harm. I knew it wouldn't freeze, just didn't want any strange line problems or such. Guess i am being overly cautious.

There's 2 things that kinda scare me, electricity and high pressure gas
