ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to cryogenic apparatus of the open cycle kind comprising a reservoir 1 for storing cryogenic fluid in liquid-vapor phase equilibrium and a phase separator 2 presenting an inlet 3 communicating with the inside of the reservoir and an outlet 4 for liberating gas, the inlet including an obturator 6.
The technical problem is to provide an apparatus of simple operation with minimal dissipated energy.
According to the invention, the phase separator 2 comprises a transfer chamber 9 with a constriction 5 at its inlet, and a further obturator 8 at its outlet, the two obturators 6,8 being operated alternately by a control unit 10.
The invention is particularly applicable to zero-gravity operation, especially for space missions.
