Filling N2 Dewar
Filling N2 Dewar
(OP)
How is the best practice of filling a 210 liter nitrogen dewar?
Such as fully open vent
Fully open supply
Have pressure builder 1/2 open
Some people have different ideas on throttling the vent valve to speed up the process.
How do you do it?

RE: Filling N2 Dewar
Best practice isn't generally too sophisticated, they're generally not even filled with an insulated hose.
If you really wanted to do this with optimum efficiency, use a VJ insulated transfer line to minimize heat flux and boil off between vessels. Size the VJ to minimize flow losses so the pressure differential between supply and receiver vessels is also minimized to reduce flash losses. Generally, those things aren't done because the cost of an optimal system outweighs the benefits.
