Abstract
A liquid cryogenic vaporizer and method of use are disclosed. The vaporizer includes a main tube, a cryogenic fluid inlet positioned proximate a first end of the main tube for receiving cryogenic fluid, and a second tube having a diameter smaller than the main tube, the second tube being in fluid communication with the main tube at a second end of the main tube opposite the cryogenic fluid inlet. The vaporizer further includes an outlet extending from the inner tube for expelling vaporized fluid. The second tube can be positioned within the main tube, and one or more velocity limiters are optionally included within the main tube along a fluid path.
