Abstract

A magnetic refrigerator operating in the 4 to 20 K range utilizes heat pipes to transfer heat to and from the magnetic material at the appropriate points during the material's movement. In one embodiment circular disks of magnetic material can be interleaved with the ends of the heat pipes. In another embodiment a mass of magnetic material reciprocatingly moves between the end of the heat pipe of pipes that transmits heat from the object of cooling to the magnetic material and the end of the heat pipe or pipes that transmits heat from the magnetic material to a heat sink.

Magnetic refrigeration apparatus with heat pipes

Patent Barclay, J A ; Coyne, F

This patent describes an about 4 to about 20 K. refrigeration apparatus comprising: a magnetic field generating means; a fluid contactable magnetic material interacting with the magnetic field produced by the magnetic field generating means so as to be subjected to a cyclically time varying magnetic field; a fluid effective to transfer heat at temperatures between about 4 and about 20K.; an external heat sink; and at least two directional heat pipes, one such pipe disposed between the fluid and the object of cooling whereby heat from the object of cooling is transmitted through the fluid to the magnetic materialmore »« less
Evaluation of industrial magnetic heat pump/refrigerator concepts that utilize superconducting magnets

Technical Report Waynert, J. A. ; DeGregoria, A. J. ; Foster, F. W. ; ...

This report provides a preliminary assessment of some magnetic heat pump (MHP)/refrigeration concepts for cryogen liquefaction and other industrial applications. The study was performed by Astronautics Corporation of America for Argonne National Laboratory under the sponsorship of the US Department of Energy. Applications of interest range from the liquefaction of gases (20 K to 100 K) to cold storage refrigeration for food preservation (250 K to 320 K) to heat pumps utilizing industrial waste heat (350 K to 400 K). Initial market penetration of magnetic refrigeration devices is anticipated for low-temperature industrial applications such as the cryogen liquefaction field, andmore »« less

Magnetic refrigerator

Patent Nakagome, H ; Yasuda, S

A working material used in a magnetic refrigerator radiates heat when it is magnetized and absorbs heat when it is demagnetized. The working material is cylindrical and extends vertically. A heat pipe has a cylindrical internal space directly surrounding the peripheral surface of the working material and containing helium gas as a heat medium. The peripheral surface of the working material in contact with the internal space functions as a condensing surface of the heat pipe. A superconductive coil surrounds the working material and intermittently applies a magnetic field thereto. A refrigerator unit supplies a cooling space with helium gasmore »« less
HTS current lead using a composite heat pipe

Conference Daugherty, M A ; Prenger, F C ; Hill, D D ; ...

This paper discusses the design and fabrication of HTS current leads being built by Los Alamos to supply power to a demonstration HTS coil which will operate in a vacuum cooled by a cryocooler. Because vapor cooling is not an option for this application the leads must be entirely conductively cooled. In the design of HTS current leads for this type of application, it is desirable to intercept part of the heat load at an intermediate temperature. This thermal intercept or connection must be electrically insulating but thermally conductive, two mutually exclusive properties of most candidate solid materials. To achievemore »« less
