Abstract
A method and apparatus for cooling and filling a cryogen reservoir with liquid cryogen from the gas/liquid discharge of a heat exchanger. The cryogen reservoir has a cryogen liquid retaining material and a temperature sensing means remote from the heat exchanger. The gas/liquid discharge is located in a region within the reservoir proximate to the temperature sensing means. At least a portion of the discharge is passed through the liquid retaining material to be absorbed, thereby.
