Ventilation systems are disclosed that include a base unit having a mounting platform connecting the base unit to a surface. Such base units have a base collar that extends away from the mounting platform and forms a perimeter of a opening through the base unit. Such ventilation systems include a fan unit that has a fan housing and a fan. The fan housing is configured to receive air through an inlet and expel air through an outlet, and the fan is capable of moving air from the inlet to the outlet. Such ventilation systems also include a quick connect interface that has a base feature and a fan housing feature. The base feature is integrated into the base unit, and the fan housing feature integrated into the fan unit; both are capable of detachably connecting together to secure the fan unit to the base unit.

Low-emission nozzle and receptacle coupling for cryogenic fluid

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for a low-emission nozzle and receptacle coupling for cryogenic fluid. An example nozzle includes a body defining a chamber through which cryogenic fluid is to flow. The body includes an outer shell that includes an outer shell surface. The nozzle includes a locking assembly configured to securely couple the nozzle to a receptacle. The locking assembly includes an inner sleeve fixedly coupled to the outer shell surface and an outer sleeve extending over and rotatably coupled to the inner sleeve. One or more locking teeth are fixedly coupled to the outer sleeve and configured to be slidably received by respective one or more coupling slots of the receptacle. The one or more locking teeth are configured to rotatably slide within the respective one or more coupling slots to couple the nozzle to the receptacle as the outer sleeve rotates relative to the inner sleeve.
