Abstract

A low-emission nozzle and receptacle coupling for cryogenic fluid is disclosed. An example nozzle includes a body including a front end and a back end and defining a chamber through which the cryogenic fluid is to flow to the receptacle. The nozzle includes a shaft having a first end and a second end. The shaft is housed within and slidably extending through the chamber. The nozzle includes a poppet coupled to the first end of the shaft and an actuator including a stem coupled to the second end of the shaft. The stem is configured to linearly actuate to cause the shaft and the poppet to linearly actuate. The nozzle includes a coupling assembly coupling the actuator to the back end of the body. The coupling assembly includes insulating material to thermally isolate the actuator from the chamber through which the cryogenic fluid is to flow.
