A refrigerator interior cleaning system includes an upright refrigerator having an interior compartment and at least one door hingedly mounted thereon for closing the interior compartment. A plurality of spray nozzles are mounted within the interior compartment of the upright refrigerator, and a pumping device is connected to the plurality of spray nozzles in fluid transmission connection therewith. A drain is mounted within the interior compartment and extends outwards therefrom for draining fluid from within the interior compartment, and a door locking device is mounted on the upright refrigerator adjacent the door, the door locking device operative to lock the door in a closed position such that the door and the interior compartment cooperate to form a generally fluid-tight seal. Finally, the plurality of spray nozzles are operative to spray fluid therefrom into the interior compartment for cleaning the interior compartment of the upright refrigerator.

A cryogenic temperature control apparatus, comprising: a storage tank housing a quantity of cryogen; a housing defining a conditioned space; a heat exchanger in thermal communication with the conditioned space; a first flow path fluidly connecting the storage tank and the heat exchanger; a first valve positioned along the first flow path between the storage tank and the heat exchanger, the first valve having a first open position and a first closed position, wherein with the first valve in the first open position the first flow path fluidly connects the storage tank and the heat exchanger and in the first closed position the first valve fluidly seals the first flow path between the storage tank and the heat exchanger; a second flow path fluidly connecting the storage tank and the heat exchanger; and a second valve positioned along the second flow path between the storage tank and the heat exchanger, the second valve having a second open position and a second closed position, wherein with the second valve in the second open position the second valve and the second flow path fluidly connects the storage tank and the heat exchanger and in the second closed position the second valve fluidly seals the second flow path between the storage tank and the heat exchanger; a heating coil extending through the heat exchanger, wherein a vehicle supports the housing, the vehicle having an engine and an engine cooling system; and a third valve being operable to selectively fluidly connect and fluidly disconnect the heating coil and the engine cooling system. 6. The cryogenic temperature control apparatus of claim 1, wherein the cryogenic temperature control apparatus is operable in a second cooling mode, the first valve being in the first open position and the second valve being in the second closed position during operation in the second cooling mode. 7. The cryogenic temperature control apparatus of claim 6, wherein the first valve has a first porting and the second valve has a second porting, the first porting being different than the second porting, the cryogenic temperature control apparatus being operable in a third cooling mode wherein the second valve is in the second open position and the first valve is in the first closed position. 8. The cryogenic temperature control apparatus of claim 7, wherein the cryogenic temperature control apparatus is operable in a fourth cooling mode wherein the first valve is in the first closed position and the second valve is in the second closed position. 9. The cryogenic temperature control apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a fan having an operable condition and an idle condition, in the operable condition the fan being operable to move a quantity of air across the heat exchanger. 10. The cryogenic temperature control apparatus of claim 9, further comprising a controller, the controller being operable to shift the fan between the operable condition and the idle condition. 11. The cryogenic temperature control apparatus of claim 10, further comprising a temperature sensor in the conditioned space, the temperature sensor communicating with the contr
