Selon un aspect de la présente invention, l'entrepôt peut comprendre un premier espace de stockage conçu pour fournir un espace dans lequel des marchandises sont stockées dans une température prédéterminée ou dans une plage de température prédéterminée et un second espace de stockage conçu pour fournir un espace dans lequel un premier échangeur de chaleur est logé. L'entrepôt peut comprendre un troisième espace de stockage conçu pour fournir un espace dans lequel un second échangeur de chaleur est logé. L'entrepôt peut comprendre un générateur de fluide disposé sur un trajet à travers lequel s'écoule le fluide de sorte que le fluide dans le troisième espace de stockage s'écoule vers l'espace externe du troisième espace de stockage. Le second espace de stockage peut comprendre un passage de décharge à travers lequel de l'eau ou de la vapeur d'eau générée à l'intérieur du second espace de stockage s'écoule vers l'espace externe du second espace de stockage.
