- the Mn-based material or the La-based material has a larger magnetic entropy change ( ⁇ S) by magnetization/demagnetization and also higher heat absorption/heat dissipation capacity as compared with those of a conventionally used Gd-based material.
- ⁇ S magnetic entropy change
- an operation temperature zone (driving temperature span) where the high magnetocaloric effect of each material is exhibited is narrower than that of the Gd-based material.

- the integrally molded block-shaped magnetic work body 33 can be configured by simultaneously extrusion-molding a desired number of the magnetic work bodies with an extrusion-molding machine without being limited to joining a required number of the tubular bodies 30 .
- the magnetic work bodies 27 A to 27 D are accommodated in the hollow ducts 26 A to 26 D, respectively, described above, it takes so much time and effort to join the tubular bodies 30 while inserting the tubular bodies 30 one by one into the hollow ducts 26 A to 26 D because the shape of the hollow ducts 26 A to 26 D is a circular-arc shape and a possibility that the joint shape varies or the tubular bodies 30 are deformed, so that the gaps 31 become nonuniform is high.
- a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped magnetic work body 34 having a size of surrounding the hollow ducts 26 A to 26 D is integrally formed by making two or more of the tubular bodies 30 adjacent to each other and joining so that the center is located at the intersection of a lattice.

- the magnetic work body 35 matched with the hollow ducts 26 A to 26 D can be formed. Therefore, deformation or collapse does not occur in a large number of tubular bodies 30 configuring the magnetic work body 35 and the shape of the gap 31 can be accurately maintained without being broken.

- the permanent magnets 25 A, 25 B are located at 0° and 180° positions. Therefore, the magnitude of magnetic fields applied to the magnetic work bodies 27 A, 27 B at the 0° and 180° positions increases, so that the magnetic work bodies 27 A, 27 B are magnetized and the temperature increases.
- the magnitude of magnetic fields applied to the magnetic work bodies 27 C, 27 D located at 90° and 270° positions having a phase different therefrom by 90° decreases, so that the magnetic work bodies 27 C, 27 D are demagnetized and the temperature decreases.

- the circulating pump 15 By the operation of the circulating pump 15 , a heat medium (water) is brought into a state of being circulated as indicated by the solid line arrows in FIG. 1 in the order of the circulating pump 15 ⁇ the pipe 43 ⁇ from the inflow port 12 D to the connection port 12 B of the high temperature side switching valve 12 ⁇ the high temperature pipes PH 32 and PH 42 ⁇ the magnetic work bodies 27 C and 27 D at the 90° and 270° positions ⁇ the low temperature pipes PL 32 and PL 42 ⁇ from the connection port 16 B to the outflow port 16 C of the low temperature side switching valve 16 ⁇ the pipe 44 ⁇ the heat absorption side heat exchanger 17 ⁇ the pipe 45 ⁇ from the inflow port 16 D to the connection port 16 A of the low temperature side switching valve 16 ⁇ the low temperature pipes PL 11 and PL 21 ⁇ the magnetic work bodies 27 A and 27 B at the 0° and 180° positions ⁇ the high temperature pipes PH 11 and PH 21 ⁇ from the connection port 12
- the heat medium (water) in the magnetic work bodies 27 A, 27 B vibrates in the axial direction of the magnetic work bodies 27 A, 27 B to transmit the heat from the low temperature end 29 to the high temperature end 28 , the heat medium (water), the temperature of which has become high at the high temperature end 28 , flows out of the high temperature pipes into the heat dissipation side heat exchanger 13 to release the amount of heat corresponding to the work to the outside (open air and the like), and then the heat medium (water), the temperature of which has become low at the low temperature end 29 , flows out of the low temperature pipes into the heat absorption side heat exchanger 17 to absorb heat from a body 51 to be cooled to cool the body 51 to be cooled.
- the heat medium (water) which is cooled by dissipating heat to the magnetic work bodies 27 C and 27 D, the temperature of which has decreased by being demagnetized, absorbs heat from the body 51 to be cooled in the heat absorption side heat exchanger 17 to cool the body 51 to be cooled. Thereafter, the heat medium (water) absorbs heat from the magnetic work bodies 27 A, 27 B, the temperature of which has increased by being magnetized, to cool the same, returns to the heat dissipation side heat exchanger 13 , and then releases the amount of heat corresponding to the work to the outside (open air and the like).
- the rotation of the rotor 21 and the switching of the high temperature side switching valve 12 and the low temperature side switching valve 16 are performed at the number of relatively high speed rotations and relatively high speed timing, the heat medium (water) is reciprocated between the high temperature end 28 and the low temperature end 29 of each of the magnetic work bodies 27 A to 27 D, and the heat absorption/heat dissipation from each of the magnetic work bodies 27 A to 27 D to be magnetized/demagnetized is repeated, whereby a temperature difference between the high temperature end 28 and the low temperature end 29 of each of the magnetic work bodies 27 A to 27 D gradually increases.
- the temperature of the low temperature end 29 of each of the magnetic work bodies 27 A to 27 D connected to the heat absorption side heat exchanger 17 decreases to a temperature at which the refrigerating capacities of the magnetic work bodies 27 A to 27 D and the heat load of the body 51 to be cooled are balanced, so that the temperature of the high temperature end 28 of each of the magnetic work bodies 27 A to 27 D connected to the heat dissipation side heat exchanger 13 becomes a substantially constant temperature because the heat dissipation capacity and the refrigerating capacity of the heat dissipation side heat exchanger 13 are balanced.
- FIG. 7 illustrates the temperatures of the high temperature end 28 and the low temperature end 29 in the state where the temperature change is saturated as described above by L 21 and L 22 .
- both the high temperature end 28 and the low temperature end 29 are affected by the heat absorption and the heat dissipation by the magnetization and the demagnetization and the temperature fluctuates with a predetermined temperature width (about 2 K in Examples).
- Both or either one of the heat dissipation side heat exchanger 13 and the heat absorption side heat exchanger 17 contains a microchannel heat exchanger in Examples so that heat can be exchanged with the outside (open air or the body 51 to be cooled) with such a small temperature difference.
- the microchannel heat exchanger has a higher heat transfer coefficient and also a larger heat transfer area per unit volume as compared with those of heat exchangers of the other types, and thus is very suitable for obtaining required capacities by the magnetic heat pump device 10 as in the present invention.
- the flow passage resistance is low and the pressure loss decreases.
- the heat medium pas sages contain the gaps 31 and the porosity adjusting holes 30 a of the tubular bodies 30 , large porosity can be set and the heat transfer area can be improved by 30% or more as compared with that of a conventional example in which magnetic work substances are filled in the form of spherical particles and can be improved by 50% or more as compared with the conventional example in which a magnetic work substance is formed into a linear body as described in PTL 2. Therefore, good heat exchange can be performed between the magnetic work bodies 27 A to 27 D and the heat medium.
- the porosity of the magnetic work bodies 27 A to 27 D When the porosities of the magnetic work bodies 27 A to 27 D are adjusted, the porosity can be easily increased or decreased by changing the inner diameter of the porosity adjusting hole 30 a of the tubular body 30 serving as the single magnetic work body, so that the porosity can be easily adjusted to ideal porosity (for example, around 40%). At this time, it is not necessary to change the outer diameter of the tubular body 30 serving as the single magnetic work body, and therefore the porosity can be adjusted without changing the entire volume of the magnetic work bodies 27 A to 27 D.
- a block body having a curved surface such as a cylindrical surface
- a rectangular parallelepiped capable of covering the block body is formed, and then the outer peripheral surface thereof is cut to form the block body having a desired curved surface, whereby a uniform heat medium passage can be secured without causing deformation of the tubular body 30 and the collapse of the gap, so that a deviation of a heat medium can be certainly prevented.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 a second embodiment of a magnetic work body according to the present invention is described with FIGS. 9 and 10 .
- This second embodiment is configured to improve the magnetocaloric effect without changing the flow amount of a heat medium.
- magnetic work substances 60 are filled into corner portions entering between adjacent two tubular bodies 30 in the gap 31 in the first embodiment described above to form a heat medium flow limited region as illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10 in the second embodiment.
- the heat medium is difficult to flow due to the surface tension, so that the corner portions do not function as a heat medium passage. Therefore, by filling the regions with the magnetic work substances 60 , the entire magnetic work substance amount can be increased without decreasing the heat medium flow amount and the magnetocaloric effect can be improved corresponding to the filling amount of the magnetic work substances 60 .

Abstract
A plurality of tubular bodies 30 formed of a magnetic work substance and having a porosity adjusting hole 30a adjusting the porosity when a plurality of rod-shaped bodies are made adjacent to each other and joined in an axial direction of the rod-shaped body are joined so that the cross-sectional shapes of gaps 31 surrounded by the adjacent tubular bodies have the same shape and heat medium passages passing a heat medium are formed with the inner surfaces of the tubular bodies and the gaps 31.
Description
- The present invention relates to a magnetic work body having a magnetocaloric effect and a magnetic heat pump device using the same.
- In place of a conventional vapor compression refrigerator using a gas medium, such as chlorofluorocarbon, a magnetic heat pump device utilizing a magnetocaloric effect which is a property that a magnetic work substance causes a large temperature change in magnetization and demagnetization has recently drawn attention.
- The magnetic heat pump device is configured so that the magnetic work substance is disposed in a liquid medium flow passage to exchange heat with a heat medium by the magnetocaloric effect. Conventionally, the magnetic work substance is molded into a granular shape, the granular-shaped magnetic work substances are stored in a tubular case, and a liquid medium is circulated in the tubular case.
- Thus, when the magnetic work substance is molded into a granular shape, while the contact surface area with the liquid medium can be increased, the flow passage resistance of the heat medium increases, which has posed a problem that efficient heat exchange cannot be performed.
- Therefore, in order to reduce the flow passage resistance of the heat medium, magnetic work bodies described in
PTLS 1 and 2 have been proposed. - In
PTL 1, the magnetic work substance is molded into a rectangular parallelepiped shape and a large number of through-holes are formed in the axial direction in the rectangular parallelepiped with a punch having a prong. - In PTL 2, the magnetic work substance is formed into a columnar body having a cross-sectional shape of a circular shape, an octagon shape, a cross shape, or the like, and then two or more of the columnar bodies are stored in a cylindrical case or a square tube case to forma heat medium passage between the columnar bodies.
- PTL 1: JP 2008-527301 A
- PTL 2: JP 2013-64588 A
- However, the magnetic work body described in
PTL 1 described above has an unsolved problem that, since a large number of through-holes are formed in the rectangular parallelepiped formed of the magnetic work substance, wastes of the magnetic work substance are generated and it is difficult to accurately form the through-holes. - Meanwhile, the magnetic work body described in PTL 2 described above has unsolved problems that a large number of the columnar bodies formed of the magnetic work substance are made adjacent to each other and space surrounded by the outer peripheral surfaces of the columnar bodies is used as a heat medium passage, and therefore, when the cross-sectional shape of the columnar body is formed into a circular shape or an octagon shape, the porosity of the space serving as the heat medium passage decreases, the flow amount of the heat medium decreases, and, in order to obtain a large flow amount, the cross-sectional shape of the magnetic work body needs to increase.
- Thus, the present invention has been made focusing on the unsolved problems of the conventional examples described in
PTLS 1 and 2. It is an object of the present invention to provide a magnetic work body capable of increasing the porosity to improve the heat exchange efficiency and a magnetic heat pump device using the same. - In order to achieve the above-described object, one aspect of a magnetic work body according to the present invention contains tubular bodies formed of a magnetic work substance and having a porosity adjusting hole in the axial direction configured to adjust the porosity when a plurality of penetrating rod-shaped bodies are made adjacent to each other and joined inside the rod-shaped body.
- One aspect of a magnetic heat pump device according to the present invention is provided with ducts in which the above-described magnetic work bodies are disposed along a heat medium flowing direction, a magnetic field changing mechanism configured to change the magnitude of a magnetic field applied to the magnetic work body of the duct, a heat medium moving mechanism configured to move the heat medium between a high temperature end and a low temperature end of the magnetic work body, a heat dissipation side heat exchanger configured to cause the heat medium on the high temperature end side to dissipate heat, and a heat absorption side heat exchanger configured to cause the heat medium on the low temperature end side to adsorb heat.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, the magnetic work body is formed into the tubular body having the porosity adjusting hole penetrating in the axial direction and configured to adjust the porosity when the plurality of rod-shaped bodies are made adjacent to each other and joined, and therefore the magnetic work body can be configured in which a heat medium passage can be formed by a void formed of the adjacent tubular bodies and the porosity adjusting hole and the porosity can be arbitrarily adjusted by changing the inner diameter of the porosity adjusting hole.
- Therefore, when the plurality of tubular bodies are made adjacent to each other to configure the magnetic work body, it becomes possible to change the porosity without changing the outer diameter of the magnetic work body.
- Moreover, the magnetic heat pump device can be provided in which, by disposing the magnetic work body optimizing the porosity in the duct in which the heat medium flows, the porosity and the flow passage resistance of the heat medium can be optimally adjusted to improve the heat exchange efficiency.

The technological idea of the present invention can be variously altered in the technological scope specified by Claims described in Claims.
- First, one embodiment of a magnetic heat pump device illustrating a first aspect of the present invention is described.
- A magnetic
heat pump device 10 is provided with aheat pump body 11, a high temperatureside switching valve 12, a heat dissipationside heat exchanger 13, aheater 14, a circulatingpump 15, a low temperatureside switching valve 16, and a heat absorptionside heat exchanger 17 as illustrated inFIG. 1 . - The
heat pump body 11 configures a heat pump AMR (Active Magnetic Regenerator). Theheat pump body 11 is provided with arotor 21 coupled to a servomotor which is not illustrated through a decelerator and rotationally driven in one direction and astator 22 as a cylindrical fixing portion containing a cylindrical case body surrounding the circumference of therotor 21 as illustrated inFIG. 2 . - The
rotor 21 is provided with a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped support member 24 fixed to arotation shaft 23 and extending in the axial direction and a pair ofpermanent magnets support member 24 and extending in the radial direction and the axial direction. Thepermanent magnets rotation shaft 23. - On the inner peripheral surface of the
stator 22, fourhollow ducts stator 22 so as to face the outer peripheral surfaces of thepermanent magnets hollow ducts 26A to 26D each are formed of a high heat insulating resin material. This reduces heat loss to the outside of a magnetic work body having a magnetocaloric effect described later and prevents heat transfer to therotation shaft 23 side. - The
hollow ducts 26A to 26D each are formed into a flat circular-arc oblong shape by an innercylindrical surface 26 a centering on the center of therotation shaft 23, an outercylindrical surface 26 b centering on the center of therotation shaft 23, and circular-arc-shapedside surface portions 26 c and 26 d individually coupling both end portions of the innercylindrical surface 26 a and the outercylindrical surface 26 b and the length in the circumferential direction is selected to be substantially equal to the lengths in the circumferential direction of thepermanent magnets - In the
hollow ducts 26A to 26D,magnetic work bodies 27A to 27D exhibiting the magnetocaloric effect which is a property of causing a large temperature change in magnetization and demagnetization are disposed. - The
magnetic work bodies 27A to 27D each are configured by joiningtubular bodies 30 each serving as a single magnetic work body, which is formed of a magnetic work substance exhibiting the magnetocaloric effect and in which aporosity adjusting hole 30 a in the axial direction adjusting the porosity when a plurality of rod-shaped bodies are made adjacent to each other and joined is formed inside the rod-shaped body, in the lattice shape with a plurality of outer peripheral surfaces as illustrated inFIG. 3 . - Herein, the
tubular body 30 contains an extrusion-molded article manufactured by filling an extrusion molding machine with a slurry-like magnetic work substance, and then performing extrusion molding and is formed into a cylindrical body having an outer diameter of 1 mm, an inner diameter of 0.485 mm, and a length of 100 mm, for example. Thetubular body 30 serving as the single magnetic work body is not limited to the cylindrical body and can contain an oval cylindrical body, a right 4 n-sided tubular body (n is 2 or more), or the like. In short, thetubular body 30 may be one in which, when two or more of the single magnetic work bodies are made adjacent to each other and joined in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction,gaps 31 surrounded by the adjacent single magnetic work bodies have a uniform shape. The shape of theporosity adjusting hole 30 a can be formed into an arbitrary shape. - Moreover, the
tubular body 30 is preferably configured by arranging two or more of the magnetic work substances, e.g., three magnetic work substances of a first magnetic work substance MM1, a second magnetic work substance MM2, and a third magnetic work substance MM3, different in a temperature zone where a high magnetocaloric effect is exhibited in the axial direction so that the temperature zone becomes higher in order, for example, as illustrated inFIG. 4 . As one example, those in which the relationships between a temperature T and an entropy change (−ΔS) [J/kg·K] are illustrated inFIG. 5 are selected as the three magnetic work substances MM1 to MM3. - More specifically, for the first magnetic work substance MM1, an Mn-based material or a La-based material having a chevron-shaped characteristic in which the entropy change (−ΔS) reaches the peak at a temperature Tp1 around the lowest Curie point as illustrated by a characteristic curve L1 is used. For the second magnetic work substance MM2, an Mn-based material or a La-based material having a chevron-shaped characteristic in which the entropy change (−ΔS) reaches the peak at a temperature Tp2 around the Curie point higher than that of the first magnetic work substance MM1 as illustrated by a characteristic curve L2 of
FIG. 5 is used. For the third magnetic work substance MM3, an Mn-based material or a La-based material having a chevron-shaped characteristic in which the entropy change (−ΔS) reaches the peak at a temperature Tp3 around the Curie point higher than that of the second magnetic work substance MM2 is used. - The Mn-based material or the La-based material has a larger magnetic entropy change (−ΔS) by magnetization/demagnetization and also higher heat absorption/heat dissipation capacity as compared with those of a conventionally used Gd-based material. However, an operation temperature zone (driving temperature span) where the high magnetocaloric effect of each material is exhibited is narrower than that of the Gd-based material. Therefore, when used alone, the temperature cannot be changed from normal temperature to a required freezing/heat dissipation temperature (hot-water supply or the like).
- Therefore, by disposing the first magnetic work substance MM1, the second magnetic work substance MM2, and the third magnetic work substance MM3 side by side in the axial direction of the
tubular body 30, a high magnetocaloric effect can be obtained in a required temperature range. - Then, four
tubular bodies 30 having the above-described configuration, e.g., twotubular bodies 30 on the lower side and twotubular bodies 30 on the upper side, are joined so that grid lines L11 indicated by the solid line connecting the centers of thetubular bodies 30 form a square, whereby a diamond-shapedgap 31 surrounded by the fourtubular bodies 30 illustrated inFIG. 3 is formed as illustrated inFIG. 6 . For the joining of thetubular bodies 30 in this case, thetubular bodies 30 are joined by a joining method, such as blazing, when joined after forming thetubular bodies 30. - The
tubular bodies 30 are arranged so that allowable grid lines L12 and L13 indicated by the dotted lines setting a ±10% allowable level to the standard grid lines L11 indicated by the solid lines connecting the centers of the fourtubular bodies 30 are set, and then the center is disposed in a hatchedsquare region 32 surrounded by the intersections of the allowable grid lines L12 and L13 as illustrated inFIG. 6 . By arranging thetubular bodies 30 as described above, desired porosity can be secured. - For example, ideal porosity is assumed to be 0.4. In order to secure the ideal porosity of 0.4, when the outer diameter is defined as D1 and the inner diameter is defined as D2 assuming that the
tubular body 30 is a cylindrical body, a ratio between the diameters D1:D2=1:0.485 is set, whereby the porosity of 0.4 can be secured. - More specifically, when a square circumscribing the
tubular body 30 is considered, the void around thetubular body 30 is expressed by (D1 2−πD1 2/4). A value obtained by adding a void πD2 2/4 inside thetubular body 30 thereto may be equal to 0.4D1 2. - Therefore, by substituting D1=1 into an equation expressed by (D1 2−πD1 2/4)+πD2 2/4=0.4D1 2 and solving the equation, D2=0.485 is given.
- Thus, in order to obtain the ideal porosity of 0.4, the relationship between the outer diameter D1 and the inner diameter D2 of the
tubular body 30 is set to 1:0.485. However, this embodiment is not limited thereto and it is preferable to set the inner diameter D2 of thetubular body 30 in the range of 0.485×0.9 to 0.485×1.1. Herein, when the inner diameter D2 of thetubular body 30 is less than 0.485×0.9, the flow amount of a heat medium passing through the magnetic work body decreases, so that the heat exchange efficiency decreases. When the inner diameter D2 exceeds 0.485×1.1, the flow amount of a heat medium passing through the magnetic work body excessively increases, so that the heat exchange efficiency decreases. - In order to configure a block-shaped
magnetic work body 33 illustrated inFIG. 3 , the integrally molded block-shapedmagnetic work body 33 can be configured by simultaneously extrusion-molding a desired number of the magnetic work bodies with an extrusion-molding machine without being limited to joining a required number of thetubular bodies 30. - Furthermore, when the
magnetic work bodies 27A to 27D are accommodated in thehollow ducts 26A to 26D, respectively, described above, it takes so much time and effort to join thetubular bodies 30 while inserting thetubular bodies 30 one by one into thehollow ducts 26A to 26D because the shape of thehollow ducts 26A to 26D is a circular-arc shape and a possibility that the joint shape varies or thetubular bodies 30 are deformed, so that thegaps 31 become nonuniform is high. - In such a case, a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped
magnetic work body 34 having a size of surrounding thehollow ducts 26A to 26D is integrally formed by making two or more of thetubular bodies 30 adjacent to each other and joining so that the center is located at the intersection of a lattice. Then, thetubular bodies 30 on the periphery of themagnetic work body 34 are cut in the axial direction (direction orthogonal to the paper surface) along the inner surface shape of thehollow ducts 26A to 26D indicated by the alternate-long-and-short-dashed-lines as illustrated inFIG. 8A , whereby amagnetic work body 35 having an outer surface shape matched to the inner surface shape of thehollow ducts 26A to 26D is formed as illustrated inFIG. 8B . Then, themagnetic work bodies 35 are accommodated in thehollow ducts 26A to 26D. At this time, thetubular bodies 30 are accommodated in thehollow ducts 26A to 26D with the first magnetic work substance MM1 of eachtubular body 30 configuring themagnetic work body 35 as the low temperature end side and the third magnetic work substance MM3 as the high temperature end side. - In this case, only by cutting an outer peripheral portion of the integrated
magnetic work body 34 according to the internal shape of the hollow ducts, themagnetic work body 35 matched with thehollow ducts 26A to 26D can be formed. Therefore, deformation or collapse does not occur in a large number oftubular bodies 30 configuring themagnetic work body 35 and the shape of thegap 31 can be accurately maintained without being broken. Therefore, when a heat medium is circulated, a uniform flow can be secured without causing a deviation, so that the heat exchange efficiency can be improved. - Then, high temperature pipes PH11, PH12 are connected to a
high temperature end 28 of thehollow duct 26A of theheat pump body 11 having the above-described configuration and high temperature pipes PH21, PH22 are connected to ahigh temperature end 28 of thehollow duct 26B located at an axisymmetric position to thehollow duct 26A as illustrated inFIG. 1 . High temperature pipes PH31, PH32 are connected to ahigh temperature end 28 of the hollow duct 26C and high temperature pipes PH41, PH42 are connected to ahigh temperature end 28 of thehollow duct 26D located at an axisymmetric position to the hollow duct 26C. - Similarly, low temperature pipes PL11, PL12 are connected to a
low temperature end 29 of themagnetic work body 27A and low temperature pipes PL21, PL22 are connected to alow temperature end 29 of thehollow duct 26B located at an axisymmetric position to thehollow duct 26A. Low temperature pipes PL31, PL32 are connected to alow temperature end 29 of the hollow duct 26C and low temperature pipes PL41, PL42 are connected to alow temperature end 29 of thehollow duct 26D located at an axisymmetric position to the hollow duct 26C. - The high temperature
side switching valve 12 contains a rotary valve, an electromagnetic valve, a poppet valve, and the like, for example, and switched and controlled with the rotation of therotor 21. The high temperatureside switching valve 12 is provided withconnection ports hollow ducts 26A to 26D, an outflow port 12C connected to an inlet of the heat dissipationside heat exchanger 13, and aninflow port 12D connected to a discharge side of the circulatingpump 15. The high temperatureside switching valve 12 is switched to a state of causing theconnection port 12A to communicate with the outflow port 12C synchronizing with the rotation of therotor 21 described above and causing theconnection port 12B to communicate with theinflow port 12D and a state of causing theconnection port 12A to communicate with theinflow port 12D and causing theconnection port 12B to communicate with the outflow port 12C. - To the
connection port 12A, the high temperature pipes PH11 to PH41 drawn out from theheat pump body 11 are connected. To theconnection port 12B, the high temperature pipes PH12 to PH42 drawn out from theheat pump body 11 are connected. - The outflow port 12C of the high temperature
side switching valve 12 is connected to the inlet of the heat dissipationside heat exchanger 13 through apipe 41 and an outlet of the heat dissipationside heat exchanger 13 is connected to the suction side of the circulatingpump 15 through apipe 42 and theheater 14 disposed in the middle of thepipe 42. The discharge side of the circulatingpump 15 is connected to theinflow port 12D of the high temperatureside switching valve 12 through apipe 43, so that a circulation path on the heat dissipation side is configured. - The low temperature
side switching valve 16 contains a rotary valve, an electromagnetic valve, a poppet valve, and the like, for example, and switched and controlled with the rotation of therotor 21 as with the high temperatureside switching valve 12 described above. The low temperatureside switching valve 16 is provided withconnection ports hollow ducts 26A to 26D and an outflow port 16C and aninflow port 16D connected to the heat absorptionside heat exchanger 17. - To the
connection port 16A, the low temperature pipes PL11 to PL41 drawn out from theheat pump body 11 are connected. To theconnection port 16B, the low temperature pipes PL12 to PL42 drawn out from theheat pump body 11 are connected. The outflow port 16C is connected to an inlet of the heat absorptionside heat exchanger 17 through apipe 44 and theinflow port 16D is connected to an outlet of the heat absorptionside heat exchanger 17 through apipe 45, so that a circulation path on the heat absorption side is configured. - Then, the low temperature
side switching valve 16 is switched to a state of causing theconnection port 16A to communicate with the outflow port 16C synchronizing with the rotation of therotor 21 described above and causing theconnection port 16B to communicate with theinflow port 16D and a state of causing theconnection port 16A to communicate with theinflow port 16D and causing theconnection port 16B to communicate with the outflow port 12C. - The circulating
pump 15, the high temperatureside switching valve 12, the low temperatureside switching valve 16, and the pipes configure a heat medium moving mechanism of reciprocating a heat medium between thehigh temperature end 28 and thelow temperature end 29 of each of themagnetic work bodies 27A to 27D. - Next, the operation of the magnetic
heat pump device 10 having the above-described configuration is described. - First, when the
rotor 21 of theheat pump body 11 is located at a 0° position (position illustrated inFIG. 2 ), thepermanent magnets magnetic work bodies magnetic work bodies - On the other side, the magnitude of magnetic fields applied to the
magnetic work bodies magnetic work bodies - When the
rotor 21 is located at the 0° position (FIG. 2 ), the high temperatureside switching valve 12 causes theconnection port 12A to communicate with the outflow port 12C and causes theconnection port 12B to communicate with theinflow port 12D and the low temperatureside switching valve 16 causes theconnection port 16A to communicate with theinflow port 16D and causes theconnection port 16B to communicate with the outflow port 16C. - By the operation of the circulating
pump 15, a heat medium (water) is brought into a state of being circulated as indicated by the solid line arrows inFIG. 1 in the order of the circulatingpump 15→thepipe 43→from theinflow port 12D to theconnection port 12B of the high temperatureside switching valve 12→the high temperature pipes PH32 andPH 42→themagnetic work bodies connection port 16B to the outflow port 16C of the low temperatureside switching valve 16→thepipe 44→the heat absorptionside heat exchanger 17→thepipe 45→from theinflow port 16D to theconnection port 16A of the low temperatureside switching valve 16→the low temperature pipes PL11 and PL21→themagnetic work bodies connection port 12A to the outflow port 12C of the high temperatureside switching valve 12→thepipe 41→the heat dissipationside heat exchanger 13→thepipe 42→theheater 14→the circulatingpump 15. - The heat medium (water) in the
magnetic work bodies magnetic work bodies low temperature end 29 to thehigh temperature end 28, the heat medium (water), the temperature of which has become high at thehigh temperature end 28, flows out of the high temperature pipes into the heat dissipationside heat exchanger 13 to release the amount of heat corresponding to the work to the outside (open air and the like), and then the heat medium (water), the temperature of which has become low at thelow temperature end 29, flows out of the low temperature pipes into the heat absorptionside heat exchanger 17 to absorb heat from abody 51 to be cooled to cool thebody 51 to be cooled. - More specifically, the heat medium (water) which is cooled by dissipating heat to the
magnetic work bodies body 51 to be cooled in the heat absorptionside heat exchanger 17 to cool thebody 51 to be cooled. Thereafter, the heat medium (water) absorbs heat from themagnetic work bodies side heat exchanger 13, and then releases the amount of heat corresponding to the work to the outside (open air and the like). - Next, when the
rotor 21 is rotated by 90° with thepermanent magnets magnetic work bodies magnetic work bodies side switching valve 12 and the low temperatureside switching valve 16 contain rotary valves, valve bodies thereof are rotated by 90° with therotor 21. Therefore, the heat medium (water) is next brought into a state of being circulated as indicated by the dotted line arrows inFIG. 1 in the order of the circulatingpump 15→thepipe 43→from theinflow port 12D to theconnection port 12B of the high temperatureside switching valve 12→the high temperature pipes PH12 and PH22→themagnetic work bodies connection port 16B to the outflow port 16C of the low temperatureside switching valve 16→thepipe 44→the heat absorptionside heat exchanger 17→thepipe 45→from theinflow port 16D to theconnection port 16A of the low temperatureside switching valve 16→the low temperature pipes PL31 and PL41→themagnetic work bodies connection port 12A to the outflow port 12C of the high temperatureside switching valve 12→thepipe 41→the heat dissipationside heat exchanger 13→thepipe 42→theheater 14→the circulatingpump 15. - The rotation of the
rotor 21 and the switching of the high temperatureside switching valve 12 and the low temperatureside switching valve 16 are performed at the number of relatively high speed rotations and relatively high speed timing, the heat medium (water) is reciprocated between thehigh temperature end 28 and thelow temperature end 29 of each of themagnetic work bodies 27A to 27D, and the heat absorption/heat dissipation from each of themagnetic work bodies 27A to 27D to be magnetized/demagnetized is repeated, whereby a temperature difference between thehigh temperature end 28 and thelow temperature end 29 of each of themagnetic work bodies 27A to 27D gradually increases. After a while, the temperature of thelow temperature end 29 of each of themagnetic work bodies 27A to 27D connected to the heat absorptionside heat exchanger 17 decreases to a temperature at which the refrigerating capacities of themagnetic work bodies 27A to 27D and the heat load of thebody 51 to be cooled are balanced, so that the temperature of thehigh temperature end 28 of each of themagnetic work bodies 27A to 27D connected to the heat dissipationside heat exchanger 13 becomes a substantially constant temperature because the heat dissipation capacity and the refrigerating capacity of the heat dissipationside heat exchanger 13 are balanced. - As described above, when the temperature difference between the
high temperature end 28 and thelow temperature end 29 of each of themagnetic work bodies 27A to 27D increases by the repetition of the heat absorption/heat dissipation to reach a temperature difference balanced with the capacity of the magnetic work substances, the temperature change is saturated. Herein,FIG. 7 illustrates the temperatures of thehigh temperature end 28 and thelow temperature end 29 in the state where the temperature change is saturated as described above by L21 and L22. As is clarified also from the figure, both thehigh temperature end 28 and thelow temperature end 29 are affected by the heat absorption and the heat dissipation by the magnetization and the demagnetization and the temperature fluctuates with a predetermined temperature width (about 2 K in Examples). - Both or either one of the heat dissipation
side heat exchanger 13 and the heat absorptionside heat exchanger 17 contains a microchannel heat exchanger in Examples so that heat can be exchanged with the outside (open air or thebody 51 to be cooled) with such a small temperature difference. The microchannel heat exchanger has a higher heat transfer coefficient and also a larger heat transfer area per unit volume as compared with those of heat exchangers of the other types, and thus is very suitable for obtaining required capacities by the magneticheat pump device 10 as in the present invention. - The heat medium supplied to the
high temperature end 28 or thelow temperature end 29 of each of themagnetic work bodies 27A to 27D flows into thelow temperature end 29 side from thehigh temperature end 28 or into thehigh temperature end 28 side from thelow temperature end 29 through heat medium passages formed of thegaps 31 formed of the outer peripheral surfaces of the adjacent fourtubular bodies 30 and the porosity adjusting holes 30 a of thetubular bodies 30. At this time, since both thegap 31 and theporosity adjusting hole 30 a are linearly formed, the flow passage resistance is low and the pressure loss decreases. - Moreover, since the heat medium pas sages contain the
gaps 31 and the porosity adjusting holes 30 a of thetubular bodies 30, large porosity can be set and the heat transfer area can be improved by 30% or more as compared with that of a conventional example in which magnetic work substances are filled in the form of spherical particles and can be improved by 50% or more as compared with the conventional example in which a magnetic work substance is formed into a linear body as described in PTL 2. Therefore, good heat exchange can be performed between themagnetic work bodies 27A to 27D and the heat medium. - When the porosities of the
magnetic work bodies 27A to 27D are adjusted, the porosity can be easily increased or decreased by changing the inner diameter of theporosity adjusting hole 30 a of thetubular body 30 serving as the single magnetic work body, so that the porosity can be easily adjusted to ideal porosity (for example, around 40%). At this time, it is not necessary to change the outer diameter of thetubular body 30 serving as the single magnetic work body, and therefore the porosity can be adjusted without changing the entire volume of themagnetic work bodies 27A to 27D. - Furthermore, when a block body having a curved surface, such as a cylindrical surface, is formed instead of the rectangular parallelepiped shape as in the
magnetic work bodies 27A to 27D, a rectangular parallelepiped capable of covering the block body is formed, and then the outer peripheral surface thereof is cut to form the block body having a desired curved surface, whereby a uniform heat medium passage can be secured without causing deformation of thetubular body 30 and the collapse of the gap, so that a deviation of a heat medium can be certainly prevented. - Next, a second embodiment of a magnetic work body according to the present invention is described with
FIGS. 9 and 10 . - This second embodiment is configured to improve the magnetocaloric effect without changing the flow amount of a heat medium.
- More specifically,
magnetic work substances 60 are filled into corner portions entering between adjacent twotubular bodies 30 in thegap 31 in the first embodiment described above to form a heat medium flow limited region as illustrated inFIGS. 9 and 10 in the second embodiment. - In the corner portions entering between the adjacent two
tubular bodies 30 of thegap 31, the heat medium is difficult to flow due to the surface tension, so that the corner portions do not function as a heat medium passage. Therefore, by filling the regions with themagnetic work substances 60, the entire magnetic work substance amount can be increased without decreasing the heat medium flow amount and the magnetocaloric effect can be improved corresponding to the filling amount of themagnetic work substances 60. - At this time, the
magnetic work substances 60 filled into the tip side of thegap 31 can improve the magnetocaloric effect without hindering the flow of a heat medium by filling the same so as to form cylindricalinner surfaces 61 as illustrated inFIG. 10 . - The second embodiment described above describes the case where the
magnetic work substances 60 are filled into the tip of thegap 31 but is not limited thereto and thegap 31 can be configured also from an integrated extrusion-molded article so as to achieve the gap shape ofFIG. 10 . - Moreover, the above-described first and second embodiments describe the case where the
hollow ducts 26A to 26D in which themagnetic work bodies 27A to 27D are disposed, respectively, are provided in thestator 22 but are not limited thereto and the number of hollow ducts in which the magnetic work bodies are disposed can be set to an arbitrary number and the number of permanent magnets disposed on therotor 21 can also be arbitrarily set. In short, the number of magnetic work bodies in a magnetized state and the number of magnetic work bodies in a demagnetized state may be equal to each other. - The above-described first and second embodiments describe the case where the
tubular body 30 serving as the single magnetic work body contains the three magnetic work substances different in the temperature zone where a high magnetocaloric effect is exhibited but are not limited thereto and thetubular body 30 may contain four or more magnetic work substances. - Moreover, the above-described first and second embodiments describe the case where the adjacent single magnetic work bodies directly contact each other but are not limited thereto and the single magnetic work bodies may be made adjacent to each other with a separate junction member interposed therebetween.
- Moreover, the above-described first and second embodiments describe the case where the
tubular bodies 30 are joined so that the central axis serves as the intersection of the lattice but are not limited thereto and thetubular bodies 30 may be disposed in zigzag by disposing the central axes of thetubular bodies 30 on even-numbered stages are shifted corresponding to the radius of thetubular body 30 in the horizontal direction with respect to the central axes of thetubular bodies 30 on odd-numbered stages in the vertical direction. - Moreover, the above-described first and second embodiments describe the case where the magnetic heat pump device is configured into an inner rotor type but are not limited thereto and the magnetic heat pump device can also be configured into an outer rotor type.
- Furthermore, the heat pump body can be configured as illustrated in
FIG. 11 . More specifically, a configuration may be acceptable in whichmagnetic work bodies rotation shaft 71, rotatingdisks rotation shaft 71 so as to sandwich themagnetic work bodies 70A to 70D in the vertical direction are disposed, and a pair ofpermanent magnets permanent magnets 74A and 74B are individually disposed on the facing surfaces at the 0° and 180° positions sandwiching therotation shaft 71, for example, of therotating disks permanent magnets permanent magnets 73B and 74B generate magnetic fluxes crossing themagnetic work bodies 70A to 70D in the vertical direction by setting the surfaces facing the magnetic work bodies of thepermanent magnets permanent magnets 73B and 74B to the S pole (or N pole). - Moreover, the present invention is not limited to the case of rotating the permanent magnets as the magnetic heat pump device and can also be applied to a reciprocating magnetic heat pump device configured so that a
magnetic work body 81 formed into a rectangular parallelepiped shape is fixed and disposed and a linear movingbody 83, in whichpermanent magnets magnetic work body 81 in the vertical direction, for example, are disposed so as to face each other, is linearly reciprocated between a position where thepermanent magnets magnetic work body 81 and a position where thepermanent magnets magnetic work body 81 as illustrated inFIG. 12 . -
