Detailed description of the invention
In the following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawing of a part for this detailed description of formation.In the drawings, unless the context requires otherwise, otherwise similar Reference numeral is often referred to similar parts.The illustrative embodiments described in detailed description, accompanying drawing and claims do not mean that restriction.When not departing from the spirit or scope of the theme presented herein, other embodiment can be utilized and other change can be made.Will readily appreciate that, the many aspects of the present disclosure as described and shown in the example shown herein usually can arrange, substitute, combine and design with multiple different configuration, and all these configure is conceived and clearly as a part of this disclosure.
Magnetic refrigerator (MR) uses magnetothermal effect to pump heat and by this heat dissipation to hotter environment from colder system.Temperature when magnetothermal effect refers to that material is exposed to magnetic field raises.When removing applied magnetic field, magnetic entropy raises, and hot entropy reduces, and the temperature of material reduces.In FIG for the magneto-caloric material gadolinium (Gd) of Curie temperature with about 60 °F, this variations in temperature is shown.Such as, for this material at first when the temperature of 60 °F, the magnetic field applying 2 teslas will cause the temperature of 10 °F to raise.When the intensity in applied magnetic field increases, variations in temperature increases.
Modern room temperature MR system can use active magnetic regenerator (AMR) to circulate and perform cooling.The early implementation of AMR circulation can see U.S. Patent No. 4332135, and its whole disclosure incorporated herein by reference.In one embodiment, as schematically shown at Fig. 2, AMR circulation has four-stage.MR system in Fig. 2 comprises porous bed and the heat-transfer fluid of magneto-caloric material (MCM), heat-transfer fluid and a MCM heat exchange when this heat-transfer fluid flows through bed.In fig. 2, the left side of bed is cold side, and the right side of bed is hot side.In alternative embodiment, hot side and cold side can be exchanged.The timing of fluid flowing and direction (from heat to cold or from being as cold as heat) adjust according to the applying in magnetic field and removing.
In the first stage (" magnetization ") of circulation, the fluid in bed is immobilising, applies magnetic field and to MCM, this MCM is heated.In the second stage (" from being as cold as heat flow ") of circulation, keep the magnetic field on bed, at fixed temperature T cifluid under (cold inlet temperature) flows through bed from cold side and is pumped to hot side.When fluid is sent to this next section, this fluid is from this each section heat absorption, and make bed cool and make fluid heats, wherein this process proceeds at a higher temperature.This fluid finally reaches temperature T ho(hot outlet temperature), in hot exit, fluid leaves this bed.Usually, this fluid is recycled by hot side heat exchanger, at this fluid of heat exchanger place, hot side by its heat dissipation to surrounding environment.In the phase III (" demagnetization "), fluid flowing is terminated and magnetic field is removed.This causes bed to cool further.In the final stage (" from heat to cold flow ") of circulation, continuing under the condition not having magnetic field, at fixed temperature T hithe fluid of (hot inlet temperature) is pumped into cold side by from hot effluent through bed.Along with this fluid is by this every section, therefore this fluid is cooled, and reaches temperature T co(cold outlet temperature), this temperature T coit is the minimum temperature that fluid reaches in the circulating cycle.Usually, this colder fluid is recycled by cold side heat exchanger, at this cold side heat exchanger place this comparatively cold fluid from refrigeration system obtain heat, under making this system remain on its low temperature.
The time needed for four-stage completing execution AMR circulation is called circulation timei, and the inverse of circulation timei is called as cycle frequency." temperature span " of MR system is defined as T hi-T ci, T hi-T ciit is the difference of fluid inlet temperature.AMR circulation is similar to simple steam compression cycle, and wherein gas compression (causing gas to be heated) plays magnetized effect, and the free wxpansion of gas (gas temperature is reduced) plays demagnetization.Although Fig. 2 illustrates the work of single MR system, but, in alternative embodiment, multiple bed (the AMR circulation that each experience is identical) can be combined, to increase cooling capacity, reduce system dimension in single system, or improve the enforcement of AMR circulation in addition.
Usually, the magnetic field of 1 tesla of tesla to 2 is used to effectively develop the magnetothermal effect for freezing.This magnetic field is provided by the assembly of strong NdFeB magnet usually.The remanent magnetism of the NdFeB magnet of highest ranking is approximately 1.5 teslas.The use in the magnetic field stronger than this can improve MR performance, but in order to obtain the magnetic field exceeding this remanent magnetism, needs greatly (may forbid) increase magnet size and weight.Therefore, 1.5 teslas are to provide the magnetic field intensity of optimum balance substantially between MR system dimension and performance.Along with the raising of permanent magnet technology, the magnet being greater than 1.5 tesla's remanent magnetism can be obtained.In this case, the best field strength of MR system can correspondingly increase.
The parts that permanent-magnet component is normally the most expensive in MR.In order to make full use of the resource of this costliness, the magneto-caloric material used in MR should have the strongest possible magnetothermal effect.This material also should avoid using any poisonous, reactive or rare (therefore expensive) composition.The business that design above eliminates such as Gd uses, and Gd is nontoxic, inertia and cheap, but has weak magnetothermal effect.Use Gd or other MR systems with the material of similar magnetic calorific intensity for commercial applications Yan Tai great.Lanthanum iron silicon hydrate (LaFeSiH) is one of the most promising magneto-caloric material for business MR system.The description of LaFeSiH can be " Itinerant-electronmetamagnetictransitionandlargemagnetoc aloriceffectsinLa (Fe see the title of the people such as Fujita xsi 1-x) 13compoundsandtheirhydrides " article (PhysicalReviewB67 (2003)), its whole disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.This LaFeSiH material has strong magnetothermal effect.Such as, Fig. 3 illustrates that two of the magnetic calorific intensity of LaFeSiH are most importantly measured, that is, the isothermal Entropy Changes (left figure) in the magnetic field of 1.0 teslas and thermal capacitance (right figure).In order to compare, the identical performance for Gd is also shown.Due to the magnetic calorific intensity greatly strengthened, therefore the MR system of use LaFeSiH can be compacter than using the system of Gd.Although LaFeSiH has the rare-earth metal La (lanthanum) as composition, but because La is a kind of element the abundantest in thulium, therefore LaFeSiH remains cheap.
In most cooling application, temperature span can be very large, is usually about 30 DEG C (54 °F) or larger.Although the total span that MR system is supported can be very large, but the temperature in the given axial cross section of bed in system can remain in narrower scope in kind of refrigeration cycle.Such as, Fig. 4 illustrates, for the specific MR system being designed to domestic air conditioner, according to the theoretical lowest stream temperature in kind of refrigeration cycle and the highest fluid temperature (F.T.) of theory of the axial location in bed.For this situation, although total moisture content span is 37 DEG C, each axial location in bed experienced by the variations in temperature around its mean value only ± 2 DEG C.If this is made up of single magneto-caloric material, then therefore some regions of bed can be in the temperature away from its Curie temperature.These regions of bed will experience little Entropy Changes and will have low thermal capacitance (see figure 3).These regions are by very little for the cooling capacity contribution shown as more as passive regenerator and for system.This poor efficiency of bed volume uses can be avoided by using stratified bed (very big Enhanced MR systematic function).In stratified bed, every one deck contains magneto-caloric material, and the Curie temperature of this magneto-caloric material is matched with the mean temperature of this layer in the circulating cycle.By selecting the Curie temperature of layer material by this way, every one deck will have in the strong Entropy Changes of cycle period and large thermal capacitance.Therefore all layers will be contributed on one's own initiative during kind of refrigeration cycle, this considerably improves the overall performance of system.Except having strong magnetothermal effect, make it be desirable for being used in stratified bed by changing hydrogen (H) content, the Curie temperature of LaFeSiH can easily control between ± 60 DEG C (concern scope of room temperature MR system).
Confirm the advantage relevant to using the stratified bed of LaFeSiH in Figure 5, Fig. 5 illustrates the bed for being formed by 5 layers of LaFeSiH, the cooling power measured according to temperature span of model machine MR system.In alternative embodiment, less or more layer can be used.In order to compare, it also shows under same condition of work, there is the performance of the identical bed of single Gd layer.Such as, under the temperature span of 13 DEG C, the cooling power that the LaFeSiH bed of layering provides is more than three times of Gd bed.
Although it is ideal material for MR that LaFeSiH it seems, but, its unstable properties.Show, when by this material preservation in the temperature very close to its curie point time this material experienced by the variation gradually of its magnetic calorific intensity, see in the IEEE Intermag conference (Taibei in 2011, Taiwan) meeting ED-07 on the title of A.Barcza etc. that occurs be " StabilityandmagnetocaloricpropertiesofsinteredLa (Fe; Mn, Si) 13h zalloys " article (hereinafter referred to as " A.Barcza etc. ") described in, its whole disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.This variation is easy to observe in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).Fig. 6 illustrates the DSC trace of the brand-new sample of LaFeSiH, and this trace has single spike.It also shows the width at this peak in DSC trace.In order to compare, Fig. 7 illustrate same sample keep close to its Curie temperature more than 1 year after DSC trace.When sample remains on the temperature close to its Curie temperature, DSC trace shows that the ferromagnetic change to paramagnetic phase is widened and in height reduces on width.Finally, as shown in the article of Fig. 7 and A.Barcza etc., initial large of this material and the transformation of point will be divided into two wide and shallow peaks (" aging division ").Measured by magnetometry and as shown in the article of A.Barcza etc., the aging division of DSC trace is along with the reduction of material Entropy Changes.The speed that division occurs depends on temperature.For the LaFeSiH of the 2 DEG C of curie points stored at 2 DEG C, obviously widening of peak approximately needs 10 days, and the formation at division peak approximately needs 60 days.For the LaFeSiH material of the 20 DEG C of curie points stored at 20 DEG C, division peak was formed in about 10 days.For the material of the 32 DEG C of curie points stored at 32 DEG C, division peak was formed in about 5 days.
As long as hydrogen content is lower than 1.5/ formula unit, then the ageing process of LaFeSiH seems not rely on synthetic method.Anneal several weeks to find out ageing process in the material forming 1 to 13 phase, then hydrogenation being melted by arc, then.By melt spinning or atomization by rapid solidification, then anneal a few hours or less with the material forming 1 to 13 phase, then hydrogenation in also find out aging fission process.There is the Different L aFeSiH sample of slightly different composition (as La 1.29(Fe 0.88si 0.12) 13h yand La 1.2(Fe 0.888si 0.112) 13h y) in find out aging fission process.At Pr 0.6la 0.6(Fe 0.888si 0.112) 13h yalso find out aging fission process in sample, wherein Pr is replaced by some La to increase magnetic calorific intensity.Therefore, aging fission process can occur in RE (TM usually xsi 1-x) 13h y(wherein RE represents rare earth element to material, as La, Ce, Pr or Nd; TM represents transition metal, as Fe, Cr, Mn or Ni; X<0.15, y<1.5) form magneto-caloric material in.In the exemplary embodiment, the value of y can between about 0.8 and 1.5.Alternatively, the y value of different range can be used.As discussed herein, different y values can be used to produce the magneto-caloric material with different Curie temperature.
When magneto-caloric material uses in MR system, the temperature that magneto-caloric material will inevitably be exposed to close to its Curie temperature.In fact, in stratified bed, the material in layer is selected to has the Curie temperature equal with the mean temperature of this layer drawn in MR cycle period.Thus, if use partially hydrogenated LaFeSiH in MR system, or more general RE (TM xsi 1-x) 13h y, its magnetic heating performance will be degenerated in time.Although partially hydrogenated RE (TM xsi 1-x) 13h ymaterial has the obvious advantage exceeding other magneto-caloric materials, but partially hydrogenated RE (TM xsi 1-x) 13h ythis degeneration of the magnetic heating performance of material can hinder its use in commercial MR system potentially.
Applicant has been found that the RE (TM when degenerating xsi 1-x) 13h ywhen material is maintained at temperature (such as, higher or lower temperature) away from its curie point subsequently, degenerative process reverses and the performance of final material turns back to its original state.In addition, applicant finds, as shown in Figure 8, material recovers to carry out quickly at relatively high temperatures.There is the material (i.e. LaFeSiH) of the Curie temperature of 26.7 DEG C by storing the aging division more than a year at such a temperature until as reached 14 DEG C by the magnetic transition width measured by DSC.As being 2.1 DEG C by this initial magnetic transition width measured by DSC.Then the material of degenerating is exposed to as illustrated in the drawing under different temperatures (that is, 38.5 DEG C, 44 DEG C, 60 DEG C and 100 DEG C).At 44 DEG C, expose about 6 days is enough to material to return to its original state completely, and at 60 DEG C, exposes about 3 days be enough to material to return to its original state completely.The reverse being completely enough to obtain aging division less than 1 day is exposed at 100 DEG C.Applicant also finds Pr 0.5la 0.5(Fe 1-xsi x) 13h yaging division to degenerate by this heat treatment be also completely reversibility.As shown in Figure 9, be have also been obtained the recovery of the magnetic transition of the initial point of the LaFeSiH of aging division by the temperature being exposed to reduction, but process is more slowly carried out.LaFeSiH material has the magnetic transition of 1.2 DEG C of width at first, and LaFeSiH material is maintained at close to its curie point of 37 DEG C after 6 days, and magnetic transition is broadened to 4.4 DEG C.By keeping material to be restored at 5 DEG C.Within 100 days, recover afterwards.In the exemplary embodiment, the regeneration temperature being used for recovering magneto-caloric material can start to leave lower than hydrogen the maximum temperature of magneto-caloric material.This maximum temperature is approximately 180 DEG C.
Because aging division degeneration can be fully reversible in a relatively simple manner, so RE (TM xsi 1-x) 13h ymaterial can use in the MR system of suitably changing, and this results in the basis of theme described herein.Have magneto-caloric material stratified bed MR system works normal mode under, material layer will keep close to its respective Curie temperature, and this will cause magneto-caloric material to be deteriorated.In addition, when system does not work, curie point also can be deteriorated close to the magneto-caloric material part of environment temperature.Therefore, applicant has developed a kind of MR system of improvement, any aging division that the MR system of this improvement is configured to keep magneto-caloric material layer can occur with reverse at the temperature being different from magneto-caloric material Curie temperature is degenerated and recovers its whole magnetothermal effect.The temperature that magneto-caloric material is kept can higher or lower than the Curie temperature of magneto-caloric material, and according to required regeneration rate, power system capacity etc., the temperature that magneto-caloric material is kept can differ 10 DEG C, 25 DEG C, 50 DEG C, 100 DEG C etc. with Curie temperature.In the exemplary embodiment, the temperature that magneto-caloric material is kept can differ about 10 DEG C with Curie temperature.
In an illustrative embodiments, MR system uses RE (TMxSi1 -x) 13H yas magneto-caloric material and have access running system in heating element heater.In addition, when MR system is in free time (such as, the residential air conditioner machine at night), heating element heater can be activated.Then MR system makes the fluid be heated cycle through magneto-caloric material, fully reverses any aging division because high-temperature process last time may occur.
Under the particular case of MR system usually absorbing heat at cold heat exchanger (CHEX) place and discharge heat at heat exchanger (HHEX) place, heater can access in parallel with this cold heat exchanger.As shown in Figure 10, under the refrigerating mode of standard, stream is directed to by CHEX and HHEX.As shown in Figure 10, AMR type refrigeration machine works in a cooling mode, and this refrigeration machine comprises the bed of one or more demagnetization, and these provide cooling to the cold heat exchanger with load thermo-contact to be cooled.One or more magnetized bed discharges heat to heat exchanger.In one embodiment, each bed comprises and has about from T cto T hrE (the TM of the curie point in scope xsi 1-x) 13h ylayer, wherein T h>T c.
Figure 11 illustrates the AMR type refrigeration machine worked in recovery mode.In one embodiment, the heater of connecting with multiple heats these and exceeds on 10 DEG C to the most high-Curie-point than the material in these, and these heat exchangers are bypassed.Discuss in more detail as shown in Figure 11 and hereafter, when reforestation practices starts, stream switches to away from cold heat exchanger and stream is redirected heater by valve.When reforestation practices, the second valve can be added to switch stream away from heat exchanger (also seeing Figure 11).These two valves by the isolation of MR system heat, thus use less heater power can be heated the temperature of the curie point about 10 DEG C higher than magneto-caloric materials all in system.If suspend magnet movement or reverse flow of fluids during reforestation practices, AMR cycling is suspended, and it reduces the amount of maintenance heater power required in recovery mode.Because magnet movement and reverse flow of fluids utilize extra electrical power, so suspend these to operate the quantity of power also reducing system in recovery mode and consume.
In alternative embodiment, cooling system is except having heating element heater, and cooling system can also comprise two independently MR subsystems.One MR subsystem can provide the cooling as Figure 10, and the bed of the second subsystem experiences the heat treatment as Figure 11 simultaneously, to reverse aging division.Under these operating conditions after certain time (such as, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 12 hours etc.), can switch MR subsystem, the second subsystem provides cooling and the first subsystem experiences heat treatment.In the period of peak value cooling requirement, two MR subsystems can provide cooling power.In another alternative embodiment, this system can be incorporated to the subsystem more than two, and some subsystems provide cooling power and its sub-systems experiences heat treatment.
In another alternative embodiment, cooling system can have two sections, and each section comprises the AMR bed of layering.Cold section can have from T cto T mthe Curie temperature of scope, and hot arc can have from T mto T hthe Curie temperature of scope, wherein T h>T m>T c.In air conditioner is implemented, T cthe value of 10 DEG C can be had, T mthe value of 25 DEG C can be had, T hthe value of 40 DEG C can be had.At alternative embodiment and/or in implementing, different temperature values can be used.When wanting to recover hot arc magneto-caloric material, cold section can work in a cooling mode, produces temperature close to T ccold outlet fluid stream.This cold fluid does not flow through cold side heat exchanger, but can be directed to by hot arc to obtain close to T chot arc temperature.Because T cfar below all Curie temperature in hot arc, so be exposed to this temperature can reverse any aging division in hot arc.Similarly, when needs recover cold section of magneto-caloric material, hot arc can work in a cooling mode and therefore can produce temperature close to T hhot outlet fluid stream.This hot fluid does not flow through hot side heat exchanger, but can be directed to logical super cooled sect to make its temperature close to T h.Because this temperature is far above all Curie temperature in cold section, be exposed to any aging division that this temperature can reverse cold section of material.
