Abstract
Abstract There is provided a mobile system for dispensing a gas generated as a consequence of vaporization of a cryogenic fluid at high volumetric flow rates and at temperatures approaching ambient. The system consists of a cart-mounted container for a cryogenic fluid and a gas dispensing system having, as a part thereof, a contained and protected primary heat transfer coil secured to a secondary heat transfer surface which is a part of the cart.
