Cold is generated, according to the invention, by compressing a refrigerant and expanding the refrigerant isentropically in a nozzle. Advantageously at least a part of the expanded refrigerant is passed in indirect heat exchanging relationship with the portion of the refrigerant prior to expansion. An expansion machine can be used to work-expand a portion of the compressed refrigerant with the expanded gas returned to the compressor. The balance of the compressed stream is expanded in the nozzle.
