- the refrigerant is vaporized at a height h1 above the injector 17 and at a distance h2 below the free surface of the column of cold accumulating and coolant liquid contained in the tubular element 1.
- the vaporization of the refrigerant creates, by siphon effect, a rapid current of coolant and coolant 12 in closed circuit in the enclosure 15, and generates in the mass of this li quid microscopic crystals of this frozen liquid which, thanks to this fast current, form with this liquid a gel or a suspension of fluid consistency which is propelled as the arrow A through the mouth 20 of a conduit 21, by a pump 22 and a non-return valve 22 ', the outlet of which is connected to a distribution conduit 23 leading to the top of the storage enclosure 10.

- the crystallization chamber produces the gel or the suspension of fluid consistency, the crystal concentration of which is advantageously between 0.1 and 2% and less than 25%, which is injected at through the distributors 31 in the space 33, surmounting the upper surface of the piston 27 in the form of a rain or a mist.
- the crystals scattered by the distributors 31 accumulate on the upper surface 32 of the mass 28, the whole of the piston 27 tends to sink gradually into the liquid 12 contained in the storage enclosure 10.
- the piston 27 can move freely as a unit towards the bottom of the enclosure in the direction of the arrow M, during the cold accumulation phase , this displacement in block making it possible to maintain the integrity of the structure of the piston, in particular preventing the formation of cracks or other free spaces in the mass of the piston.
- the piston 27 which is gradually absorbed, will tend to move vertically upward in the direction of the arrow N.
- the piston is moved in block to avoid the formation of cracks, breaks, etc., thanks to the cylindrical shape of the walls of the enclosure and, if necessary, thanks to the non-stick coating of the inner surface of these walls .
- the melting of the crystals can create inhomogeneities in the upper zone of the piston.
- the lower mass constitutes a real filter retaining the crystals possibly detached during this fusion, so that the piston remains constituted as a whole and moves in block.

- the pipe 13a equipped with a valve 13'a defines the actual input of the use circuit.
- Line 13b is divided into two branches 13c and 13d, the first of which 13c, fitted with a valve 13'c, opens at the bottom of the crystallization enclosure 15, with a view to injecting therein, if necessary, liquid to be frozen.
- the second of which 13d, equipped with a valve 13'd and a non-return valve 13 "d is connected to the distribution duct 23 defined above.
- the storage enclosure 10 advantageously comprises a grid 36 formed below the piston 27.
- the refrigerant circuit comprises the conduit 24 mentioned above connected to the compressor Cr, itself connected to the condenser Cd whose outlet defined by the arrow C is connected to a distribution conduit 37 which supplies the injector (s) 17 through the valve adjustable expansion valve 18 as well as a sprayer boom 38 through an adjustable valve 39 which makes it possible, if necessary, to regulate the flow of refrigerant, to inject or to cut off this supply.

- a tubular element 1 is mounted inside the crystallization enclosure 15 and this element is surmounted by a deflector 2.
- This tubular element forms a central chimney which makes it possible to channel the updraft, represented by the arrow D, of cooled liquid, charged with microscopic crystals in suspension of this frozen liquid, as well as the downward current, represented by the arrows E.
- the upward current D is generated by siphon effect by the vaporization of the refrigerant in the upper zone of height h2 where form vapor bubbles of this fluid.
- a small part A of this current is sucked by the pump 22 and the largest part, represented by the arrows F, is recycled inside the tubular element 1.
- the deflector 2 on the one hand, and the fact of placing the mouth 20 in the middle or lower zone of the crystallization enclosure 15 makes it possible to ensure maximum degassing of the liquid, that is to say an effective separation of the refrigerant in the vapor state of the liquid.
- the device described above can operate in several distinct modes:
- the pumps 35 and 22 are switched on as well as the compressor Cr.
- valves 13'a and 13'd are closed as well as the valves 14'a and 14'b.
- the 13'c valve is open.
- the liquid taken from the bottom of the enclosure 10 circulates through the crystallization enclosure 15.
- a variant consists in closing the valve 14'a and in opening the valve 14'b.
- the hot liquid injected into the crystallization chamber 15 reduces the quantity of crystals generated in the latter and deposited on the piston.
- Pump 35 is started, pump 22 and compressor C r are started.
- valves 13'c, 13'd and 14'b are closed.
- valves 13'a and 14'a are open.

- the valves 13'a and 14'b are open.
- the enclosure 15 is used to cool the liquid heated in the heat exchanger without producing crystals.
- This operating mode is advantageous because on the one hand, the production of cold during the restitution phase is done with a higher thermodynamic efficiency than during the accumulation phase because the vaporization takes place at a higher temperature, and on the other hand, it makes it possible to reduce the dimensioning of the accumulation enclosure 10 for a maximum total amount of cold absorbed by the circuit of use during a restitution phase. This reduction is notable when the cold restitution power Pr is of the order of twice the cold production power Pp in the crystallization enclosure 15.
- the temperature of the fluid supplied by the distributors 31 is lowered which, during the cold restitution phases , improves the cooling efficiency R (D) of the liquid by lowering the temperature 02 of this liquid conveyed to the heat exchanger of the cold use circuit.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate a means other than a crystallization enclosure making it possible to generate crystals of frozen cold storage and coolant liquid and to distribute them uniformly on the surface of the piston formed inside the storage enclosure 86 to directly form rigid aggregates.
- These means comprise at least one, but preferably several nozzles 84 each constituted by a body 70 provided with an opening 71 oriented towards said piston and comprising a chamber 72 in communication with said opening.
- This chamber contains an injector 73 connected by a conduit 74 to a distribution conduit 75 for pressurized refrigerant.
- the chamber 72 is moreover connected by the intermediary of a conduit 76 to a distribution conduit 77 of cold accumulator and coolant liquid under pressure, this conduit being thermally insulated by a sheath 78.
- the injector 73 generates a jet 79 , relatively fine, of refrigerant at least partially in the liquid state.
- This jet is oriented towards the opening 71 and is surrounded by a coaxial jet 80 of coolant and coolant liquid.
- This liquid feeds the chamber 72 at a temperature sufficient to prevent icing of the injector 73.
- the refrigerant evaporates and causes the freezing of the cold-storage and heat-transfer liquid in the form of '' a wet snow which spreads evenly on the upper surface of the piston.
- the atmosphere surmounting the piston is made of refrigerant in the gaseous state, and is collected by a suitable evacuation duct, mounted at the upper end of the storage enclosure and connected for example to the suction of a Cr compressor.
- the liquid is heated in the operating circuit and sprayed by the nozzles 84 in the form of a rain of liquid distributed uniformly over the upper surface of the piston 85.
- the flow of hot liquid from the operating circuit is then high enough to prevent its partial freezing by the liquid refrigerant which it vaporizes in the nozzles 84, while cooling, before watering the upper surface of the piston 85 by a fine rain.
- the valve 81 is closed and the valves 82 and 83 are open.
- the compressor Cr is triggered, and the pump Pc is started.
- Cold liquid transmitted by the valve 82 is mixed with the hot liquid coming from the use circuit Ec, which pre-cools the latter before its spraying and its passage through the piston 85 and lowers, as explained previously with reference to FIG. 1, the temperature 02 of the liquid sent to the heat exchanger.
- a refrigerant injector 90 generates by the vaporization of this fluid at the top of the storage enclosure 91, above the piston of liquid crystal cold accumulator and frozen coolant (not shown), a cold gaseous atmosphere in which is injected with cold accumulator and coolant liquid supplied by a conduit 92 thermally insulated by an insulation sheath 93 and sprayed through a series of sprayers 94.
- These means make it possible to generate fine snow, composed of a mixture of crystals of this frozen liquid and fine droplets of this liquid and of liquid refrigerant, which is deposited on the upper surface of the piston on which these crystals directly form said rigid aggregates.
- FIG. 5 Another means of generating wet snow is illustrated in FIG. 5.
- a conduit 102 makes it possible to inject refrigerant at least partially in the liquid state coming from a pressure reducer 103, in the conduit 100 to allow the spraying of a mixture of cold accumulator and coolant liquid and refrigerant in the state liquid through the sprayer-distributor 101.
- the conduits 100 and 102 can advantageously be arranged so that said mixture is produced in the form of an emulsion of microscopic particles of refrigerant liquid dispersed in the cold accumulating and heat-transfer liquid.
- the formation of this emulsion can be facilitated by the addition, at a very low concentration, of an emulsifying agent in this liquid.
- the purpose of this emulsion is to intensify and facilitate the vaporization of the refrigerant in the space filled with gaseous refrigerant and thereby to increase the thermodynamic efficiency of the installation.
- FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment of the accumulation chambers illustrated in all the variants described above. They consist of at least one enclosure 110 of masonry or the like, for example of reinforced concrete, of parallelepiped shape.
- This enclosure 110 is preferably arranged in the basement or buried and thermally insulated on its outer walls by panels 111. The necessary sealing of the enclosure is achieved by the inner coating of the walls by means of a synthetic material.
- the distribution members 112 carried by a bell 113 which also allows access to the interior of the enclosure, ensure uniform spraying and / or watering of the upper surface of the piston 115, as indicated above with reference to the figures 1 to 5, by heated liquid coming from a circuit of use and / or mixtures of consistency of this liquid and crystals of this liquid generated by vaporization of the refrigerant.
- These members 112 comprise tubulars for evacuating the gaseous refrigerant released in the accumulation enclosure 110.
- the cooled heat transfer liquid is taken from the base of the enclosure and directed by conduits 114 to the use circuit.
- This system has the advantage of avoiding costly transportation and on-site fabrication of sealed metal enclosures. Thanks to the parallelepiped shape of the piston, we obtain a maximum capacity of accumulation per unit of space used.
