Abstract
A skirt for deflecting a fluid supply comprises a remote and a close portion (with respect to distance from a fluid impinged surface). The skirt is located in close proximity to a surface to be impinged by the fluid. The skirt is especially suited for use in conjunction with a Joule-Thomson cryostat and can also be used in conjunction with more than one cryostat for cooling of electronic devices. The remote portion of the skirt is disposed around the nozzle or nozzles of the fluid supply so that each fluid supply (or nozzle) extends through a hole in the remote portion of the skirt. The interior surface of the close portion of the skirt extends closer to the fluid impinged surface than each nozzle. The skirt efficiently wets the impinged surface with a fluid providing a measure of control over the outward velocity of the fluid as it progresses along the fluid impinged surface.
