  • Liquid conditioning for cryogen vessel fill station
    Patent number: 11719387
    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).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 5, 2018
    Date of Patent: August 8, 2023
    Assignee: Messer Industries USA, Inc.
    Inventors: Simon J. Shamoun, Isaiah Edmonds

  • CRYOGEN CONTROL FOR MIXING TEMPERATURE OF FOOD PRODUCTS
    Publication number: 20200120945
    Abstract: A method for adjusting a viscosity of a food product for processing in a mixer includes measuring a weight and introductory temperature of a batch of the food product; determining a viscosity of the batch of the food product necessary for subsequent processing; determining a processing temperature of the batch necessary to arrive at the viscosity; and introducing an amount of cryogen into the batch based upon enthalpy of the batch for arriving at the processing temperature.
