Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for point cooling. The cooling device comprises a cooling channel provided with a defined small end surface (9, 39) and an outlet valve (11) separated therefrom, a container (13) with liquid carbon dioxide and an access conduit (15a-c, 43) connected to said container (13) provided with a nozzle (17, 45) localized to said cooling channel, whereby liquid carbon dioxide is brought to flow from the container out through said nozzle. The invention further comprises to choose the overpressure of the container, adjust the outlet valve (11) and design the nozzle in such a way that the pressure in the cooling channel (7, 35) is kept above the so-called triple point of carbon dioxide and that the distance between the nozzle (17, 45) and the defined small end surface (9, 39) is adapted so as to substantially gasify the carbon dioxide at said end surface.
