Abstract
A sub-cooler for a sub-cooling cryogenic refueling system is disclosed herein. The sub-cooler includes a first valve to separate flowing cryogenic fuel into a primary flowline and an auxiliary flowline, a second valve to reduce the saturated pressure and temperature of the cryogenic fuel in the auxiliary flowline, a cryogenic heat exchanger to transfer heat from the primary flowline to the auxiliary flowline, a temperature sensor to measure the temperature of the sub-cooled cryogenic fuel in the primary flowline, and a sub-cooler controller to control the effective areas of the primary flowline inlet and the auxiliary flowline inlet at the first valve.
