Abstract
The present invention is an improved ambient-air liquid cryogen vaporizer and a method of using the same. The interconnections between the vertical starfinned pipe lengths of the vaporizer are arranged such that the coldest temperature pipe lengths are placed at more remote locations from the warmer pipe lengths than in previous vaporizer set-ups. This arrangement increases the capacity of the vaporizer by reducing ice bridging between the colder and warmer fins.
