  • SYSTEM INCLUDING A HEAT EXCHANGER WITH DIFFERENT CRYOGENIC FLUIDS THEREIN AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20080209919
    Abstract: A system can include a heat transfer structure and a heat exchanger. The heat transfer structure is to cool an object, and the heat exchanger is to cool a portion of the heat transfer structure. The system can be cooled significantly faster than a conventional system that uses conductive cooling. The system has no or less liquid cryogen that would be vaporized as compared to a conventional system that immerses the object to be cooled within a bath of liquid cryogen or has a substantial mass of liquid cryogen within a cooling loop.
