Abstract
The invention relates to a device for dispensing one or more jets of cryogenic fluid comprising a fluid supply pipe supplying one or more fluid-dispensing nozzles arranged downstream of said pipe, in which the fluid flow section of the fluid supply pipe has a first diameter. According to the invention, the device for dispensing one or more jets of cryogenic fluid also comprises at least one plenum chamber which is arranged between the fluid supply pipe and the fluid-dispensing nozzle(s) and which is fluidly connected to both the pipe and the nozzle(s). The fluid flow section of each plenum chamber has a second diameter greater than the first diameter of the fluid flow section of the fluid supply pipe.
