In these devices, a heater is provided in the vicinity of magnetic field to create a temperature gradient in a fluid flow path by heating externally. - However, the devices having external heating means have only limited uses and are not suitable for cooling an object.

FIGS. 1-6 of the accompanying drawings. - The embodiment shown in
FIG. 1 comprises a circulation path (3) for circulating a magnetic fluid between a heat receiving section (1) and a heat discharging section (2), and a magnet assembly comprising a pair of elongated magnets (4,5) centrally disposed in the circulation path (3). When the magnetic fluid receives heat in the heat receiving section (1), a temperature gradient is created between the magnetic fluid retained in the heat receiving section (1) and the heat discharging section (2) and the magnetic fluid retained in the heat receiving section (1) having decreased magnetization is expelled by the magnetic fluid retained in the heat discharging section (2) having higher magnetization than the fluid retained in the heat receiving section (1) under the influence of the magnetic field of the elongated magnet centrally disposed in the circulation path (3). Thus heat transfer occurs from the heat receiving section (1) to the heat discharging section (2) by the magnetic convection. - In the embodiment shown in

In the embodiment shown inFIG. 2 , a magnet assembly comprises a plurality of magnets (4,4 b, 5, 5 b) connected in series. The magnet assembly is disposed in the magnetic fluid (3) with the magnet having stronger magnetic force extending toward the heat receiving section. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 3 , a pair of magnets are disposed in opposed positions in the circulation path (3). In the embodiments shown inFIG. 4 , a pair of magnets are disposed in the circulation path (3) at an angle so that the spacing between the magnet pair is minimum at the ends facing toward the heat receiving side. By creating the strongest magnetic field on the heat receiving side in the circulation path (3) as shown, the magnetic fluid retained in the heat discharging side will be moved to the heat receiving side more easily. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 5 , a pair of magnets are attached to a support member (10) made of ferromagnetic material. The support member (10) has an inverted U-shape and the pair of magnets are supported by the legs at opposing positions. This configuration contributes to the reduction of leakage of magnetic flux and also to stronger magnetic force between the opposing magnets. - The embodiment shown in
FIG. 6 is provided with three circulation paths (7,8,9). The magnet having opposite poles (4,5) are disposed in the first circulation path (7) in the heat receiving section (1) to create a magnetic flow path (6). The magnet may be disposed any one of three circulation paths and the magnetic flow path (6) may be created on both sides of the magnet. The magnetic heat pump shown inFIG. 6 operates with fewer volume of the magnetic fluid than the magnetic heat pump shown inFIG. 1 . - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 7 , the heat receiving section (1) is separated from the heat discharging section (2). Both section have their own fluid circulation paths which are connected end-to-end in closed loop with connecting tubings made of flexible materials. By connecting two sections with flexible tubings, their relative positions may be changed as desired. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 8 , the magnetic convection heat pump comprises a pair of magnet rings (4 a,5 a) which are concentrically connected to the end of associated fluid circulation path as part of connecting conduit (12) between the heat receiving section (1) and the heat discharging section (2). According to this embodiment, the heat receiving and heat discharging sections (1,2) may be constructed by common parts and allows easy connection and disconnection of circulation path at magnetic connection site (11) and facilitates filling and withdrawing the magnetic fluid into and from the fluid circulation path (3). - The magnet disposed in the fluid circulation path (3) may be secured by any means, for example, movable engagement into a mating groove, glueing and the like.
- The heat receiving section (1) and the heat discharging section (2) are preferably constructed from a material having a high heat conductivity such as copper, aluminum or graphite. More preferably, such a material has low magnetic permeability.
- Now still further embodiments of the magnetic convection heat circulation pump of the present invention will be described making reference to
FIGS. 9-11 . The term “magnetic pump (14) section” as used herein refers to the section in which the magnet (13) placed in the associated magnetic flow path (6) is located. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 9 , the end portion of the magnetic flow path (6) on the heat receiving section side is tapered to prevent reverse flow of the magnetic fluid and the magnet (13) and the magnetic flow path (6) extend in part into the heat receiving section (1). Moreover, the heat receiving section (1) and the magnetic pump section (14) each constructed from a mutually different material having different heat conductivity are thermally coupled together. - In addition, the magnetic flow path (6) and the fluid circulation path (3) in the heat receiving section (1) is connected in fluid flow communication to the heat discharging section (2) by a connecting flexible conduit made of, for example, fluorocarbon resin. In the heat circulation pump as shown in
FIG. 9 , heat inputted in the heat receiving section (1) is directly transferred to part of the magnetic flow path extending in the heat receiving section (1) but the heat is transferred only indirectly to the magnetic pump section (14). Furthermore, since the magnetic pump section (14) is made of a material having a heat conductivity less than the material of the heat receiving section (1), the quantity of heat transferred to the magnetic pump section (14) is not sufficient to raise the temperature of that section as high as the temperature of the heat receiving section (1). This creates a temperature gradient within the area of magnetic flow path (6) and the magnetic fluid retained in the region of magnetic flow path having higher temperature is magnetically expelled by the magnetic fluid retained in the region of magnetic flow path having lower temperature due to the gradient of the magnitude of saturation magnetization. Once this has occurred, cold magnetic fluid will flow into the magnetic pump section (14) from the heat discharging section (2) to begin with the circulation of magnetic fluid through the entire heat circulation path (3). In order to create a temperature gradient sufficient to drive the magnetic fluid by the magnetic force the heat receiving section (1) and the magnetic pump section (14) are constructed, for example, from aluminum or like metallic material and a polymeric material respectively. - Although not shown in
FIG. 9 , the direction of magnetization of themagnet 13 may be either in the longitudinal direction or the direction perpendicular thereto. In case of longitudinal magnetization direction, for example, the location where the temperature gradient occurs will be shifted from the point where the magnetic field is strongest to the central part of the magnet where the magnetic field is weakest as the heat input decreases. Accordingly, it is envisaged to have a magnetic convection heat circulation pump for maintaining the temperature of a heat generating parts at constant by using a magnet adapted for such applications. - Also not shown in the drawings, the fluid circulation path preferably has at least partially on the surfaces contacting the magnetic fluid a coating of either an oil repellent material such as SITOP sold by Asahi Glass or an ionic surfactant of the same type used for coating the particulate ferromagnetic material of the magnetic fluid. For example, a cationic surfactant is used for coating both the circulation path and the particulate ferromagnetic material. The coating of the fluid circulation path contributes to decreased shear stress of the path and also to the prevention of agglomeration of particulate ferromagnetic material.
