A refrigeration capacity accumulator (A) including a set (6) of parallel transversely spaced tubes (1) arranged in layers. Each tube (1) is closed at both ends (4, 5) and contains a static liquid (3) that solidifies into ice when the tube is exposed to a below-zero temperature. Each tube comprises means for compensating for the expansion of the static liquid (3) during solidification. Specifically, the tube (1) is arranged in a horizontal position, an expansion space (1a) is provided in the gap between the static liquid and the cylindrical wall of the tube, and two internally hemispherical end walls (4, 5) are provided. According to the method, the accumulator (A) is operated and a zigzagging flow of a dynamic fluid (11) is fed through the spaces between and around the tubes (1). Said accumulator (A) may be connected to a refrigeration unit (15) and/or an operating apparatus (22). |
