Abstract
An installation for the production of cold and/or heat has a driving and a receiving machine. The driving machine has means for circulating a working fluid GM, an evaporator EM, at least one transfer cylinder CTM that contains a transfer liquid LT in a lower part and the working fluid GM liquid and/or vapor form above the transfer liquid, a condenser CM, at least one device BSM for separating the liquid and vapor phases of the working fluid GM, and a device for compressing the working fluid GM to the liquid state. The receiving machine has means for circulating a working fluid GR, a condenser CR, at least one device BSR for compressing or expanding and separating the liquid and vapor phases of the working fluid GR, optionally a pressure reducer DR, an evaporator ER, and at least one transfer cylinder CTR that contains the transfer liquid LT in a lower portion and the working fluid GR in liquid and/or vapor form above the transfer liquid; the transfer cylinders CTR and CTM are connected by at least one pipe that can be blocked by actuators and in which only the transfer liquid LT can circulate.
