CONDENSATION-FREE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING LOW-TEMPERATURE FLUID

摘要

A system (10) and method for transferring a low temperature fluid includes a source of the low temperature fluid (12) coupled to a device being cooled (14) by one or more fluid hoses (18) or lines. The lines are surrounded by a cover (28) which is coupled to a source of gas (16). The gas flow between the fluid lines and the cover such that the dew point of the atmosphere inside the cover is below the temperature of an outer surface of the hose such that condensation on the fluid lines (18) is substantially eliminated.
