  • the cooling device described in the document US3302416A comprises several compressors, several motors, several heat exchangers configured to cool liquefied gas coming from the tank and at least one source of refrigeration, external to the gas storage installation.
  • the refrigeration source corresponds to independent equipment with respect to compressors, exchangers, etc.
  • This source of refrigeration can for example be a container in the form of a bottle of gas, called cycle gas.
  • DE102013018333 also discloses a liquefied natural gas storage facility in accordance with the preamble.
  • the storage installation described in this document comprises numerous independent components, which imposes numerous interfaces for linking them.
  • these numerous components form a large buffer volume which needs to be filled at each start of each cycle.
  • the use of an internal system makes it possible to store the cycle gas used to operate the installation, said cycle gas being stored in another external equipment when it is hot and returned to the circuit of the installation once 'he is cold.
  • the object of the present invention is in particular to solve, in whole or in part, the problems mentioned above.
  • the present invention may consist of the use of an installation which is described in particular in the document WO2009066044 .
