The first connector is in fluid communication with the flow path formed between the inner tube and the outer tube and further includes an opening for receiving a portion of the inner tube. The inner tube is securely coupled to the first connector at a joint therebetween to establish a position of the inner tube relative to the outer tube.

The evaporation vessel can contain an amount of coolant at the boiling point of the coolant. The cooling system also includes a pressure reducer fluidically coupled to the coolant transmitter and the evaporation vessel. The pressure reducer can include an orifice. The cooling system is configured such that heat is transferred from the coolant in the coolant transmitter to the coolant contained in the evaporation vessel. An exit stream conduit can fluidically couple the coolant transmitter and the pressure reducer, with the exit stream conduit diverting a portion of the coolant from the coolant transmitter to the evaporation vessel.
