Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005072027A2] Disclosed are methods for producing a solid filament (1) from a liquid (2) in a vacuum chamber (70), comprising the following steps: a gas is liquefied in a heat exchanger apparatus (20) to produce the liquid (2); and the liquid (2) is delivered into the vacuum chamber (70) via a supply duct (27) and through a nozzle (30). Liquefying of the gas in the heat exchanger apparatus (20) encompasses adjusting a p-T operating point of the liquid (2) at which the liquid (2) is transformed into the solid aggregate state and forms a collimated and stable jet after being discharged from the nozzle (30) into the vacuum chamber (70). Also disclosed are nozzle arrangements for producing solid filaments (1) in a vacuum.
