An apparatus for cooling liquid stored therein is described. In some embodiments, the apparatus comprises a first cylinder configured for storing a gas under pressure, a second cylinder defining at least one axial tubular space therein. The second cylinder stores the liquid to be cooled and the liquid storage compartment is separated from the axial tubular space. Further the second cylinder is covered with a lid that defines an opening for dispensing liquid. The interface between the second cylinder and the lid also includes a control valve for releasing the gas into the atmosphere. In operation, provisions are made in the first cylinder by way of an actuator and perforations for releasing the gas into the axial tubular space. The first cylinder and the second cylinder are detachably assembled prior to cooling. Various other embodiments and advantages are disclosed herein.

A manually controlled high pressure valve includes a valve body having an air inlet, an air outlet and a mounting hole; an adjusting device arranged in the mounting hole by hermetically connecting to the inside wall of the mounting hole and having an air inlet hole and an air outlet hole; a limiting block arranged below the adjusting device and matched with the adjusting device and the air inlet for controlling the air intake from the air inlet hole of the adjusting device. The limiting block can be jacked up by the high pressure of the air inlet and block off the air inlet to stop jetting outwardly when the gas is not exhausted from the air outlet of the valve; and the limiting block can be removed to form a gap between the limiting block and the inlet hole when it is required to jet outwardly.

The invention relates to a cryogenic container for storing and/or transporting a medium, in particular a biochemical and/or medical product. The cryogenic container comprises at least one primary container, which has at least one flexible film bag. The flexible film bag is designed to receive the medium. The cryogenic container furthermore comprises at least one secondary container, which at least partially surrounds the primary container and is preferably at least partially flexible. The secondary container has at least one opening for insertion of the primary container. The secondary container furthermore has at least one preferably at least partially flexible outer sleeve. The secondary container furthermore has at least one heat exchanger space, which is arranged between the outer sleeve and the flexible film bag and receives at least one fluid heat exchange medium.

A picnic cooler that includes a food compartment, a gas tank compartment, an off/on electric spigot, a first sealing rings with a first apertures a second sealing ring with a second aperture, and two cooling apparatuses. The cooling apparatus includes a twisting piping system and an upper metallic plate that serves as the bottom of the food compartment. The ratio between the diameter of the second aperture and the diameter of the first aperture is between 1.8 to 2.2 and the ratio between the inner surface area of the food compartment and the outer surface area of the first and second piping systems is between 9 to 17.

The invention relates to a smart thermal insulation box, including thermally insulated layers with mitered edges forming a thermally insulated space, and said space surrounded by cardboard material. The box has externally viewable and operable temperature and humidity sensors, where the sensors are preferably fixed inside the box to one side. The temperature monitoring system monitors temperature of the insulated space and facilitates delivery of refrigerant into it through a refrigerant delivery system when the temperature of insulated space exceeds a set value. One of the cardboard panels forming the top of the box which overlays the insulation layer has a window configured to overlay the display panel. An audible alert system may also be included to alert users to temperature or humidity excursions.

Example aspects of a thermal monitoring system are disclosed. The thermal monitoring system can comprise a cryogenic storage container comprising an external wall and an internal wall, wherein a cold cryogenic liquid is housed within the internal wall, and wherein a vacuum is formed between the external wall and the internal wall; a thermal imaging camera configured to measure temperatures within a region of interest, wherein the cryogenic storage container is oriented within the region of interest and the thermal imaging camera measures an external temperature of the outer wall of the cryogenic storage container, the thermal imaging camera further comprising camera software configured to generate a thermographic video of the external temperature; a display device displaying the thermographic video; and an alarm unit configured to activate an alert when the external temperature of the cryogenic storage container drops below a pre-selected trigger temperature.

An exemplary method protects a delicate device from potential damage from shock or vibration. A material in a liquid state is placed in contact with the delicate device. The liquid material is cooled causing it to transition to a solid state which stabilizes the delicate device in contact with the solid material against shock and vibration. The solid state material is heated causing it to sublimate into a gas thus releasing the delicate device for operation.

The present invention is directed to providing a cryogenic storage device and system that can be regulated at a constant temperature for cryopreservation of biological materials. A cryogenic storage system for cryopreservation of biological materials is provided that may include a storage beaker having at least one storage chamber formed therein, a cooling source, and a cold finger that may be configured to thermally couple the storage beaker to the cooling source.
