What I am trying to say is that LN2 could possibly be used as a refigerant but you would need a MASSIVE compressor to create the 2000+psi required to convert the gas back into a liquid. Just not fisable.

Hehe check these (posted on another thread but..)
CTi Cryogenics
He compressors. Yes, Helium. Thats about -272°C or about 1 or 2K. I used those and they rock !
Also i used N2 as refrigerant for a plasma "cannon" in a *sorry, secret* machine. (not weaponry - its more related to electronics )
