Abstract:
In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided that includes providing a liquid nitrogen storage system configured to cool a supply of liquid nitrogen to a temperature below the vapor point of liquid nitrogen; coupling a piping system with the liquid nitrogen storage system to convey a portion of the supply of liquid nitrogen from the liquid nitrogen storage system; coupling the piping system with a liquid nitrogen control valve configured to control a flow of liquid nitrogen to at least one liquid nitrogen dispensing head; disposing the at least one liquid nitrogen dispensing head above a conveyance device operable to convey an aggregate stream of a concrete batching plant during use; and disposing the at least one liquid nitrogen dispensing head in a position to dispense an output flow of liquid nitrogen onto the aggregate stream of the concrete batching plant during use.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for cooling aggregate for use in a concrete mixture when ingredients of the concrete mixture are being batched from a concrete batching plant, the system comprising:\n a liquid nitrogen storage system configured to cool a supply of liquid nitrogen to a temperature below the vapor point of liquid nitrogen; a piping system coupled with the liquid nitrogen storage system to convey a portion of the supply of liquid nitrogen from the liquid nitrogen storage system; at least one liquid nitrogen dispensing head configured to receive the portion of liquid nitrogen via the piping system; a liquid nitrogen control valve configured to control a flow of liquid nitrogen to the dispensing head; wherein the at least one liquid nitrogen dispensing head is configured to be disposed above a conveyance device to convey an aggregate stream of a concrete batching plant; and wherein the at least one liquid nitrogen dispensing head is configured to dispense an output flow of liquid nitrogen onto the aggregate stream of the concrete batching plant during use.
