Abstract: A hollow-walled cylindrical stainless steel vacuum-insulated funnel with a flat bottom through which a float valve and screen check and filter the gravity flow of liquid nitrogen out through a drain pipe in the bottom. The bottom of the funnel has a small lip raised all around the small pipe outlet to prevent any water condensation inside the funnel from dripping into the EDX dewar. The pipe outlet pierces a dewar stopper and can be permanently left in place on top of a dewar. The hollow-walls of the funnel are packed with foil-backed film in laminations to reduce radiation heat transfer between the funnel's inside and outside walls. A vacuum is drawn inside the hollow walls to minimize heat conduction.
