Abstract: A method for conditioning a liquid cryogen in a tank includes reducing a pressure of the liquid cryogen in the tank for reducing a temperature of the liquid cryogen and condensing any vapor boil-off in the tank for reclaiming the liquid cryogen in the tank. The liquid cryogen may be selected from the group consisting of liquid nitrogen (LIN), liquid oxygen (LOX), and liquid argon (LAR).

Abstract: A delivery apparatus and method for delivering liquid cryogen to a chilling application includes a liquid cryogen feed tank; a liquid cryogen conduit in fluid communication between the feed tank and the application, wherein the feed tank is in fluid communication with a vessel which is in fluid communication with the conduit between the feed tank and the application; a weight measurement device for controlling the weight of liquid cryogen to be delivered to the application through the conduit; a flow controller for controlling the speed of delivery of the liquid cryogen to the application; wherein the application utilizes the liquid cryogen and produces an exhaust gas; a device for measuring the temperature of the exhaust gas, the device in operative communication with the flow controller; wherein the flow controller is configured to vary the speed of delivery of liquid cryogen from the vessel through the conduit in response to the temperature of the exhaust gas.
