Abstract (en)

[origin: ES8608086A1] The injection of liquid nitrogen into the probe (2) is regulated in an on-off manner so as to maintain the temperature of the ground at the coldest point above a value within the range of between -140 DEG C. and -160 DEG C. so as to cause calefaction of the liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen is alternately injected into the central passage (9) and into the annular passage (11) of the probe, these passages being thermally insulated from each other.
