Abstract

Abstract A condenser for liquifying cryogen boil-off from a reservoir of liquid cryogen. The condenser comprises a chamber including means to contact cryogen boil-off with a source of refrigeration at or below the temperature at which the cryogen will condense and comprises at least one low heat conductivity conduit adapted to be mounted in fluid-tight relation between said source of cryogen boil-off and said source of refrigeration, whereby, in use, said boil-off cryogen is conducted to said source of refrigeration where it is condensed and returned to said reservoir through said low conductivity conduit.
