Abstract

A cryogen tank in thermal and mechanical attachment with the equipment to be cooled. Direct thermal conduction between the cryogen and the equipment provides the required cooling. The tank is preferably arranged so as to lie within an existing profile of the cooled equipment, and to be relatively small as compared to known cryogen tanks.
