Abstract: A portable cryogenic cooling apparatus includes a platform; a tank for storing a cryogen and mounted to the platform; a heat exchanger operatively associated with the platform and in fluid communication with the cryogen; at least one air circulation device operatively associated with the heat exchanger for moving atmosphere therethrough; a first exhaust pipe in communication with the heat exchanger for removing gaseous cryogen from the heat exchanger to a location external to the atmosphere; a power source mounted to the platform and connected to the at least one air circulation device for powering said device; a control valve operatively associated with the tank and the heat exchanger to adjust an amount of the cryogen provided to the heat exchanger; and a controller in communication with the heat exchanger and the control valve for generating a signal to the control valve for operation thereof.
