[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A method for providing refrigeration to a refrigeration load comprising:(A) compressing a refrigerant fluid, cooling the compressed refrigerant fluid, and expanding the cooled refrigerant fluid to generate refrigeration;(B) warming the cooled refrigerant fluid by indirect heat exchange with a coupling fluid to produce warmed refrigerant fluid and cooled coupling fluid;(C) warming the cooled coupling fluid to provide refrigeration to a refrigeration load; and(D) periodically passing some cooled coupling fluid into a stabilizing reservoir, and periodically passing some cooled coupling fluid from the stabilizing reservoir to the refrigeration load.
