Abstract

A heat exchanger unit having a housing into which a cryogenic liquid is introduced and permitted to evaporate and vaporize into a cryogenic cold gas. A process fluid to be cooled flows in a heat exchanger and heat exchange to cool the process fluid takes place between the cold gas and the heat exchanger, without making direct contact between the cryogenic liquid and the heat exchanger which would cause freezing. The refrigerating capacity of the cryogenic cold gas is replenished by heat exchange contact with the evaporating cryogenic liquid.
