Storing Nitrous Oxide Chargers Properly To maintain food safety and maximize shelf life, always store nitrous chargers correctly: Keep at room temperature away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight. Stand chargers upright in a secure container to prevent falls/damage. Never freeze nitrous cylinders or expose them to extreme cold. Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated. Check chargers for dents or corrosion before use. Follow all manufacturer expiration date codes. With proper storage, nitrous oxide chargers maintain peak gas pressure and integrity for over a year from production. Damaged or expired cylinders can explode under pressure and should not be used.
