PCT No. PCT/FR97/00580 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 25, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 25, 1998 PCT Filed Apr. 1, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/37176 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 9, 1997A refrigeration capacity accumulator including a set of parallel transversely spaced tubes arranged in layers. Each tube is closed at both ends and contains a static liquid that solidifies into ice when the tube is exposed to a below-zero temperature. Each tube compensates for the expansion of the static liquid during solidification. Specifically, the tube is arranged in a horizontal position, an expansion space is provided in the gap between the static liquid and the cylindrical wall of the tube, and two internally hemispherical end walls are provided. According to the method, the accumulator is operated and a zigzagging flow of a dynamic fluid is fed through the spaces between and around the tubes. The accumulator may be connected to a refrigeration unit and/or an operating apparatus. |
