According to the present invention, a kind of device for cooling electrochemical energy accumulator is proposed, it has major circulatory system, therein the first magnetic cooling fluid at least temporarily stream wear maybe and can wear the first magnetic field by stream, and at least temporarily stream is worn maybe and can be worn electrochemical energy accumulator by stream.
Be understood to a kind of accumulator about electrochemical energy accumulator, it absorbs energy with electric form, can with the chemical species storage and the energy of storage with electric formal output to electrical appliance.The important example of this electrochemical energy accumulator is (particularly based on lithiumation) Galvanic monocell or by the battery pack of a plurality of Galvanic monocells structure.
Be understood to a kind of system for direct coolant about major circulatory system, by this system first cooling fluid, directly by another kind of liquid or heat transfer medium gaseous state and thermal source to be cooled or hot trap to be heated, carry out heat exchange.Preferably, cooling fluid also can be not only for cooling thermal source, but preferably also for the heat hot trap.Preferably, the second heat transfer medium that the first cooling fluid circulated in major circulatory system is circulated in second circulatory system cooling or the heating.
Be understood to a kind of liquid medium about cooling fluid, its physical attribute causes this liquid medium to be applicable to transmission heat.For example, the capacity of heat transmission that this physical attribute has been, large specific heat or the dynamic attribute of medium, make medium heat can be transferred to the dynamic attribute of another place from a place.Cooling fluid needn't or similarly have all these physical attributes simultaneously.
Be understood to a kind of liquid or cooling fluid about magnetic liquid or cooling fluid, it has at least one can be by the physical attribute of influence of magnetic field, preferably, because this magnetic cooling fluid has a large amount of magnetic moments.The important example of magnetic liquid is so-called ferrofluid.Other example is the liquid that shows so-called magneto-caloric effect.Particularly preferably, use the ferrofluid of magnetic heat about the present invention.
Ferrofluid is the example of the liquid made a response in magnetic field.Preferably, the ferrofluid material is comprised of several nanosizeds, magnetic particle that preferably suspend in carrier fluid.Preferably, described liquid is the suspension of magnetic particle, and this magnetic particle, in carrier fluid, preferably floats outstanding in water or oil.Particularly preferably, described particle is comprised of the material with heat calorie (thermokalorisch) attribute.The preferred solia particle face coat of handy polymerization is stable.Preferably, the ferrofluid stable dispersion, wherein solia particle not in time through and precipitation and also do not gather mutually in extremely strong magnetic field or be deposited as special phase from liquid.The book of RonaldRosenzweig " Ferrohydrodynamics " (EA1985, RonaldE.Rosensweig:Ferrohydrodynamics.DoverPublications, MineolaNY1997, ISBN0-486-67834-2) in introduce the ferrofluid material.
Statement " magnetic rheological liquid " (MRF) has represented and has been similar to the liquid that ferrofluid is made a response to magnetic field, but its can solidify contrary with ferrofluid.Yet magnetic rheological liquid is comprised of the suspension of the magnetic particle of micron size, magnetic particle wherein is greater than the particulate of the ferrofluid of typical nanosized.When larger MRF particulate is exposed in magnetic field, it is tending towards forming chain.Subsequently, the viscosity of MRF (" viscosity ") is enhanced, and makes it even can solidify, and particularly the pressure on acting on it is large that not enough so that chain is all the more so while disconnecting.Contrary with magnetic rheological liquid, ferrofluid does not preferably form chain.For ferrofluid, the random motion of particulate is not subject to particulate is aggregated to the restriction of power together.The viscosity of ferrofluid does not change or changes hardly in magnetic field, but it trends towards stopping in highfield or flowing into highfield.Magnetic rheology effect starts from the above particle size of 10 nanometers, therefore about ferrofluid of the present invention, preferably has the particle size below 10 nanometers.
Ferrofluid preferably superparamagnetism and have few to considerably less hysteresis.Particulate preferably is comprised of iron, magnetic iron ore or cobalt and preferably is less than magnetic domain, and typical diameter is the 5-10nm(nanometer).Liquid on every side is oil or water preferably, may be also wax.Preferably be added with surfactant so that stable suspension makes with the particulate of micella mode combination mutually exclusive due to steric interaction by the method.
Superparamagnetism, also be the superparamagnetism effect, means the magnetic properties of the very little particulate of ferromagnetic material, if interrupt in the magnetic field before applied, attribute does not keep permanent magnetization when the temperature lower than Curie temperature yet.This phenomenon relaxes as basis with so-called Neil so that so-called Blang is lax, and lax by these, the magnetic moment of particulate changes by thermal impact (without influence of magnetic field).
The gathering of this particulate shows as macroscopic such as the picture paramagnetic material, but has the high magnetic saturation of ferromagnetic material.Contrary with real paramagnetic material, described particulate is not single atom but little magnetic particle, and they uncorrelatedly change its direction of magnetization.The considered material that depends on of superparamagnetism is less than definite particle size.Precondition to this is, the particle of material is very little, to such an extent as to it only forms a magnetic domain, it does not also have or have little magnetic anisotropy.In this case, especially simply, all magnetic moments are directed on unified direction by external magnetic field.If the superparamagnetism phenomenon, occur in the reduced magnetic domain size to depending on material of particle or narrow down to and be less than the magnetic domain size that depends on material.The particle size that depends on material also is marked as " superparamagnetism boundary ".

In the Utopian embodiment shown in Fig. 2, first (magnetic) cooling fluid when the major circulatory system through Utopian magnetothermodynamics cyclic process, its once through the time heat exchange of this first cooling fluid by isothermal from the thermal source for temperature T 1 extract heat T1*DS and equally the heat exchange by isothermal to the hot trap quantity of heat given up T2*DS with lower temperature T2.Adiabatic (constant entropy) step a and c are between the step b and cyclic process of two isothermals.In step a, the temperature of cooling fluid is brought up to higher heat source temperature from lower hot trap temperature T 2.In the magnetothermodynamics cyclic process, can not occur as thermal insulation (constant entropy) compression by working gas in common Carnot cycle, but occurred by (constant entropy) magnetization of the thermal insulation of the first cooling fluid of magnetic, wherein this cooling fluid enters from the space without magnetic field (H2=0) magnetic field that intensity is H1.When thermal insulation (constant entropy) magnetization of the first cooling fluid of magnetic, its temperature is brought up to higher heat source temperature T1 by the hot trap temperature T 2 from lower.In another thermal insulation (constant entropy) process steps c, the first cooling fluid of magnetic is left from magnetic field, and wherein its temperature is reduced to T2 from T1, and this is because the first cooling fluid of magnetic insulated ground (constant entropy ground) demagnetizationization in process steps c.
In reality, the heat exchanging process of isothermal will complete infinitely slowly, because for the heat exchange completed in finite time, must want limited temperature difference.The cyclic process more geared to actual circumstances shown in Figure 3, wherein isothermal ground does not carry out the heat exchange b ' with thermal source.In other words, when with thermal source, carrying out heat exchange b ', the temperature of the first cooling fluid is brought up to T2 from temperature T 3.In this case, the first cooling fluid of magnetic absorbs heat from thermal source, and it is corresponding to the area between horizontal axis and curved section b '.In process steps d ', the first cooling fluid of magnetic is exported to hot trap by heat, and it is corresponding to the area between horizontal axis and curved section d '.
For the embodiment according to device of the present invention shown in Fig. 1, heat exchanging process 3,10,12 not strict isothermal ground are realized.In other words, the first cooling fluid of magnetic is current will absorb heat through electrochemical energy accumulator 1 under the situation that improves its temperature.When there is no magnetic field H, the first cooling fluid of magnetic is current emits heat through the first heat exchanger 12 under the situation that reduces its temperature.When applying sufficiently high magnetic field H, magnetization will suppress the reduction of temperature, and this magnetizes according to the intensity in magnetic field and reduces according to this temperature of fully overcompensation of magnetic properties of cooling fluid.For the device shown in Fig. 1, magnetization is definitely in no case to realize insulatedly, but isothermal even approx perhaps is exactly this situation when when by the field orientation magnetic moment, extra energy can be exported to the first cooling fluid by the second cooling fluid at heat exchanger 12 places.
When leaving magnetic field 5, when the first cooling fluid of magnetic is left Shi,Gai magnetic field, magnetic field additional energy when the first cooling fluid of magnetic obtains directed magnetic moment by demagnetization.This process steps near adiabatic realizes (constant entropy), and therefore the temperature of the first cooling fluid is reduced as far as possible doughtily, or with thermal source to be cooled, contact as well as possible, and the cooling fluid of magnetic can absorb hot as much as possible from thermal source thus.
About the present invention, the process steps of the cyclic process of magnetothermodynamics is strict as far as possible thermal insulation or the realization of isothermal ground utterly in addition.Fig. 4 illustrates the example of cyclic process, wherein two process steps e and f neither thermal insulation also not isothermal ground carry out.However, the thermal source that the first cooling fluid of magnetic is T4 from temperature obtains heat, and the hot trap that is T2 to temperature by thermal output.In this case, cooling fluid can absorb and to output to the heat of radiator more from thermal source, and cooling effect is by better.
