unit. To help ensure the Liquid Nitrogen remains free of par
such as ice crystals, carbon dioxide slush, lint, etc., the storage Dewar used
should be completely emp d at least 4 mes a year just prior to having it
lled. This is accomplished by vigorously agita ng the residual amount of
Liquid Nitrogen in the Dewar and discarding it in a safe, outdoor area.
