Abstract

This invention is related to space heating and/or cooling and air- conditioning systems which can be used as a stand-alone system, or is integrated to the already existing radiator type of sensible heating systems. The reason why this invention is not only a device but should be considered as a system is the fact that there exists a multitude and diverse of inventions and devices that work together and comprise a compounded system around the idea of making today's radiators, which can only be used in winters for sensible heating now capable of air-conditioning. For fulfilling these purposes, the content of the invention is divided into two main units. First one is a cooling/heating unit, and the other one is the air-conditioning unit, which can be assembled to the radiators that are used for heating systems and installations. The system also comprises various installation materials.

Description

AIR- CONDITIONING BY MEANS OF UTILIZING RADIATORS THAT

ARE USED FOR SPACE HEATING

TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention is related to a space heating and/or cooling and air-conditioning system, which can be used as a stand-alone system or may be integrated to the already existing space heating system.

The reason why this invention is not only a device but should be considered as a system is because it involves more than one new idea and other coupled inventions that all evolved around the idea of making it possible to transform today's radiators into air-conditioning systems in addition to their space hating capabilities with this invention.

For fulfilling this objective, the core of the invention was separated into two main units of the system. First one is a space cooling/heating unit, and the other one is the air-conditioning unit, which can be coupled to the radiators and such systems and equipment that are normally used for space heating purposes.

PREVIOVUS TECHNIQUE

Historically and currently the boiler and the radiator system have been and are solely used in winter for space heating purposes only, when the outdoor temperature is lower than the indoor temperature that has to be maintained. Depending upon the climate and region, radiators are used only during the winter when space heating is needed, which may last around six months. In the remaining months of the year radiator systems and other similar like hydronic fan-coils remain idle until the following winter period.

At present, the air- conditioning function in many places like dwellings and offices is primarily achieved by air-conditioning systems using fan coils, split-type heat pumps, window-mounted or wall mounted air-conditioners or forced convection central systems through duct work. Alongside the most important handicap of the radiator systems and alike mentioned above, namely that they operate only during the winter, they are incapable of conditioning the air. Such an air-conditioning unit integrated with a radiator is_^non- existent. Inability of conditioning the air by radiator systems also leads to poor air quality like the circulation of dust while hot air hot air rises, which also renders an inefficient comfort heating. Over the years several unhealthy and inefficient measures have been taken like attaching water containers to the radiators in order to humidify the dry air, putting marble plates over the radiators in order to decrease the upward rise of the air or even putting radiators in completely enclosed cabins with a front grill.

A patent application, numbered US-A-2, 121.625, describes a heating and cooling system, which involves an electrical cooling unit (an instrument for water cooling - at low temperatures, one main switch and fuse board, air recycling units, a necessary liquid cooling substance which can be applied in each radiator, cooling substance water, antifreeze, antithermolytic, and corrosion preventing elements.

EP0291619B1 numbered patent application claims a central heating system with radiators, which further has cooling, heating, and air conditioning functions for buildings.

In another patent application numbered EP0508245B1 , central heating system with boilers also having cooling capability has been mentioned. This patent brings forth the idea of having two independent hydraulic circuits to circulate cold and hot water to meet the need of sensible heating and sensible cooling of a dwelling, etc. at the same time.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The main purpose of the invention is to extend the annual operating time of radiator type of terminal units, which are currently used only for sensible heating (i.e. no air-conditioning capability) into the summer season and shoulder seasons by adding to them the sensible cooling and air-conditioning functions too, thus

accomplishing all comfort needs in the building by a single system. One method of the invention is to cool the liquid that is circulating through the radiators and thus to accomplish sensible cooling of the indoor space utilizing the same radiator. Heat from the indoor space is transferred and returned to the cooling unit.

Another aim of the invention can be explained as follows: Cool water in the pipes and radiators can cool the nearby air but cannot move it in the room at the same rate as in heating. In order to compensate this, fan/fans on anywhere on the radiators are installed in order to distribute the air in the indoor space more uniformly.

Another aim of the invention involves an adapter piece that makes an air- conditioning unit compatible and easily installable on all types of standard radiators, when there is no space below or above the radiator to put the unit. In addition, it can be installed on the wall at floor heated places. This equipment can either be modular like split air- conditioning units, or can be a single part according to the length of the radiator.

Another aim of the invention is, making the invention adaptable and robustly adjustable to any type of radiators, by assembling it like a hat; and installing modular or singular air- conditioning units to the edge of that part. Inside the part that is assembled like a hat, there is a stopper about 2 cm away from the top to allow sufficient space for air circulation. Therefore, having about 2,5 cm of space below or above the already existing radiators is more than enough to install air- conditioning units.

Another aim of this invention is, the fan in the air - conditioning unit can easily operate air sucking/pumping functions from the opening of about 20 cm width and about 2 cm height. However, if the air - conditioning unit is not a single unit but an integral part, then width of the part is adjusted to be equal to the width of the radiator, while a height of about 2 cm remains unchanged.

Another output of the invention is, thanks to the air - conditioning units that can work in winters and summers; considering one year period, the comfort effectiveness improves and functional diversity of the system increases. In addition, while the invention eliminates dust, smoke, soot and other things that pollute air through the filters of the air-conditioning system present in the indoor space, it also increase the indoor air quality and reduces the dispersion of viruses and bacteria. The result is a healthier environment. A further outcome is that the dispersion of dangerous matters, particulates and pathogens among several indoor spaces in zones that may occur in central air-conditioning systems are totally eliminated.

Another output of the invention is the use of concentric plastic pipes for improving the efficiency further and also decrease the cost. Thanks to the radiator thermostatic or manual adjustment valves that are hereby turned into electrical power generating micro-turbines, air- conditioning energy can be supplied by the fluid circulation in the pipes through the kinetic energy primarily imparted to such fluid by the central circulation urns. Although this does not mean energy savings, t has advantages like eliminating or reducing the need for power lines to each radiator set.

Another output of the invention is, gaining thermal energy through the use of vortex tube, peltier devices (cooling device that works according to the Peltier effect) and magnetic cooling systems. In warm and hot seasons, if the amount and temperature of such heat is sufficient, the heat generated from these methods may support with absorption technique to yield more cooling power and enhance the cooling system. Conversely, the heat can be used to pre-heat the water of

individual/central heating systems in winters.

One of the goals to be achieved is, while such air- conditioning units are adaptable to all current radiators, they will be also compatible with future radiators as either removable or permanent. Consequence of this invention is that radiators and ancillaries will be used for 12 months in a year, no matter what the season is.

To achieve the goals listed above; an air- conditioning unit is used for heating and cooling specific localizations or zones in the building, which can be adapted to the current heating systems or can be used separately. This air- conditioning unit contains; one inner main body that has an entrance and exit for the liquid, a main outer body to protect the inner main body, a cold storage tank to cool the supply liquid in the inner main body, a device that carries out the cooling function in the cold storage tank, forced-convection fans with mini ducts placed on the outer main body. To achieve the goals listed above; a cooling unit using absorption technique is used for heating and cooling, which can be adapted to the current heating systems or can be used separately.

In order to realize the goals listed above; a new unit called hereby the

IKLIMATOR is used for comfort heating and cooling the indoor spaces, which can be adapted to the current radiator type of sensible heating systems or can be used separately. The Iklimator unit contains; a vaporizer, condenser, provided with liquid entrance and exit, - air evacuation hoses related to the condenser, and a cooler with a magnetic field.

Detailed Description of the Invention

The invention is about an air- conditioning system which can be used as a stand-alone system, or, can be adapted to the already existing radiator type of sensible heating systems. This invention may be used both for sensible and latent heating and cooling of indoor spaces. This air- conditioning unit contains; main inner body (18) with liquid entrance(6) and a liquid exit (8), an outer main body (31 ) to cover the inner main body (18), a cold storage tank (29) where the previously mentioned liquid (6) gets cooled, a cooling element (52) that cools the water in the cold storage tank (29), air evacuation fans (25) that embody evacuation hoses (12) placed on the outer main body (31 ), formed in cold storage tank (29), pipe winding (7) related to liquid exit(8) and intake (6), a battery (13) to provide energy for the cooling element (52), DC current transformer (14) that connected to the battery (13), a thermostat gauge (9) placed inside of the outer main body (31), a malfunction warning gauge (15) placed inside of the outer main body (31), an expansion tank (48) placed inside of the outer main body (31), a circulation pump (11) placed on the line of liquid exit (8), a water drawing apparatus (20) placed on the line of liquid exit (8), an exiting/outgoing water heat sensor (23) placed on the line of the liquid exit (8), multiple numbers of air intakes (24) placed on the outer main body (31), an electrical current direction changer (26) installed inside the outer main body (31 ), an

entering/returning water heat sensor (22) placed on the line of liquid entrance(6), a hear sensor (21 ) placed on the inner main body (18), a heating/cooling section (16) and a support section (19) on the outer main body (31), and a cooling fan (3) that contains air evacuation fans (25) inside outer main body (31 ).

To ensure the air circulation mentioned above, inside the air- conditioning unit there are 1 piece of air filter group (43), 1 piece of air humidity control (44), 1 piece of ionizer (45), 1 piece of conveniently capable fan (46) and 1 piece of 15 cm UV bulb for the UV lightning or only UV bulb housing (47), or only a UV bulb housing to decrease the expenditures since there could be more than one unit assembled together. While air- conditioning units (40) can be supplied energy via direct network electricity, they can also use rechargeable batteries/cells, or electricity generating radiator valve (42).

To provide required amount of air- conditioning, air- conditioning units (40) are connected to each other in series with a proper method (tongued, locked, screwed etc.). This way, sufficient numbers of air- conditioning units (40) can be attached to radiators of various lengths. Instead of being modular, on demand, making use of air- conditioning units(40) as a single instrument, proper for various radiator lengths like 40 cm, 60 cm, 80 cm etc.; or designing and producing of new radiators with built-in air- conditioning units (40) are within the scope of this patent.

While our air- conditioning units are designed to fit each and every radiator currently in the market, it also contains an interconnection member (59) that makes installing the units on sides of the radiators or on the wall when possible, for cases where assembling of air- conditioning units (40) above or below the radiator (41 ) is not an option (putting marble on the radiators, covering the top for decoration etc.). Just like air- conditioning units, this interconnection member (59) can also be modular or a single part according to radiator length.

One part of this equipment (59) can firmly be attached like a hat thanks to its adjustability for any kind of radiator (41); and air- conditioning units (40) (modular or single part) can be installed on the edge of the other part. Inside the part that assembled like a hat, there is a stopper around 2 cm above the top to ensure a space for air circulation. Therefore, having 2,5 cm of space below or above the already existing radiators (41) is more than enough to install air- conditioning units (40).

The fan (39) in the air- conditioning unit (40) can easily operate

sucking/pumping air functions from the opening of 20 cm width and 2 cm height. However, if the air- conditioning unit is not a single unit but a whole part, then width of the part is adjusted to be equal to the width of the radiator (41), while 2 cm height remains unchanged.

The previously mentioned two parts of the interconnection member (59) can rotate around 180° with a hinge or a hinge system (60). This way, blowing in any direction and angle is possible in the air- conditioning environment. Furthermore, there are adjustable air directing blades on the upper cap of air- conditioning unit.

While the air- conditioning units (40) are adaptable to all current radiators, they also are able to be installed on the future radiators as removable or permanent, and they (40) can be used for 12 months a year, no matter what the season is.

From now on, after the application of air- conditioning units to the current or future radiators; the known techniques will be improved and radiators will become much more functional than now. The radiators that will be designed and produced with air- conditioning units are a part of this patent.

Alongside the air- conditioning units (auxiliary); the Main unit (65) as one of the constituents, has six different subspecies and procedures, which are as follows:

1. Conventional Cooling, a) Chiller b) Heat pump c) Cooling with ice melt d) Cooling with expansion of gases e) Paramagnetic cooling f) Vacuum cooling g) Cooling with steam injectors h) Steam compress cooling

2. Cooling with cold evaporation (evaporative cooling or magnetic evaporative cooling)

3. Cooling with Vortex tube

4. PELTIER (thermoelectricity) cooling/heating: One of the inner structures in the main unit (65) of IKLIMATOR has a Peltier (thermoelectricity) applied function.

As shown in figure-2; formed by the Peltier heating/cooling principles, this main unit is formed in two parts: an insulated heating/cooling section (16) and a command control, and an energy and support section (19).

In energy and support section (19) command control contains; thermostat setup and gauge (9), heat prompt (10) connected to thermostat, circulation pump (11 ), energy support unit battery/cell (13), AC to DC current transformer (14), gauge and control cable (15), water drawing apparatus for the system (20), outgoing water heat sensor (23), electrical current direction changer (26) and an expansion tank (48).

The system mentioned above that looks like a radiator, is shaped like a metal box formed by six insulated surfaces (5) with the height of 60 cm, depth of 20 cm and a length of 100-120 cm. Inside the heating/cooling section(16) of this box, there is a second insulated (2) metal box (4) with the dimensions of 40 cm x 15 cm x 60 cm placed in a way that it does not touch to the outer aluminum box and does not form a heat transfer bridge. Inner and outer aluminum boxes can be produced in different dimensions on demand. One or more copper/aluminum pipe windings (7) that are used in cooling systems are placed spirally and without insulation into the second metal box, in the most proper position for heat transfer. The section that contains the inner box and all of the copper pipes is called installation water or interior

heating/cooling main body ( 8). Main body (18) dimensions can change according to demanded capacity. The reasons why it looks like a radiator and has 4 pieces of system water entrance and exit like a radiator are, easy install on the current systems, to increase capacity by connecting more than one units in series/parallel and applicability for central systems.

Heating/cooling section (16) contains; peltier group (1), aluminum fan with a cooling plate (3), hot/cold air evacuation hoses (12), heat sensors (21), entering water heat sensor (22), air intakes (24), electrical current direction changer (26), second peltier (27) and air evacuation fans (25).

Working principle of the main structure's cooling function which is Peltier thermoelectric heating/cooling is applied:

As illustrated in figure-2; cooling is provided by one or more (depends on capacity demand) peltier group (1) thermoelectric cooling plate(s). While peltier plates (1) can be installed on only one face of the box with air gap (4) in series or parallel with different capacities, they also can be applied to any six faces (5) of the inner rectangular prism looking second box.

When 12, 24, 48 or 60 V DC current is applied on Peltier plate (1 ) with the varying capacities like 100 W, 500 W, 750 W, 1000 W etc., one face of Peltier plate (1) reaches to -30° C and the other face reaches to +130° C temperature. Peltier plate(1)'s -30° C reaching face is glued directly with a thermal paste to a face of the box with air gap (4) that made of second metal material, after cutting a hole in the insulation with the same size as a Peltier plate (1 ). This way, the second box's interior gets cooled due to the inward directed -30° C plate. System water in the thin copper/aluminum pipes that placed inside the second box enters the radiator with +20° C, while circulating in this cold environment, entering liquid (6) cools down to around +10° C. The system water that cooled down to +10° C and is heat controlled via thermostat circulates the radiators by means of circulation pump (11) and liquid exit (8), and it provides cooling to environment via fans on the air- conditioning units (40).

The installation water completes a cycle when it returns to the main unit to get re-cooled, after it gets hotter during the cycle. After a series of cycles, the closed environment will be cooled down to a desired temperature.

In fact, the principle is same as it is in heating provided by central heating systems with radiators. The only difference is using the same system to produce cooling instead. This is one of basic principles of the patent that exceeds and improves the technique's known current situation.

Meanwhile, heat generated by means of the pneumatic cooling group that formed by the cooling fan (3) and the aluminum grill which are charged with the duty of sucking the heat generated from +130° C face of Peltier plate(1), is transferred outside by air evacuation hoses.

To generate electricity, a second peltier plate (27) may be used in the main unit.

Working principle of the main IKLIMATOR structure's functional cooling which is Peltier thermoelectric heating/cooling is applied:

If the current direction (26) on peltier plate (1 ) is reversed, the heating surface of the peltier plate (1 ) will start to cool; likewise the other cooling surface will start to generate heat. In other words, when current direction changes, heating/cooling functions of peltier surfaces switch faces. The face that reached -30° C before starts to heat up to +130° C. In the same way, the other previously +130° C reaching surface will cool down to -30°C. Therefore, this time the main unit starts to provide heating instead of cooling.

In the Peltier plate (1) main unit, system water is stored directly in the cold storage tank (29) for cooling, but this time through water proof box -as shown in the figure-3- (28) instead of thin copper pipe winding.

As shown in figure-4, the peltier based main unit is divided into two sections: radiator functioning heating/cooling section (30) and insulated heating/cooling section (16).

The insulated heating/cooling section (16) contains; a cooling fan-aluminum cooling fan (3), thermostat control and gauge (9), circulation pump (11 ), hot/cold air evacuation hoses (12), energy support unit battery (13), AC-DC adapter/transformer (14), gauge and control cable (15), command control energy and support section (19), water drawing apparatus for the system (20), heat sensors (21), air intakes (24), air evacuation fans (25), outer main body (31 ) with all insulated five faces,

water/antifreeze/boron liquid mixture depot (32) and a radiator wire with the function of closed loop radiators seen in automobiles and a water/antifreeze and boron liquid storage cap (34).

The radiator functioned heating/cooling section (30) also contains; Peltier plate (1 ), thermal insulation (2), liquid entrance of system water to radiator (6), system water/liquid exit (8), heat prompt connected to thermostat (10), main body (18) for heating/cooling the system water or the interior, Entering/Returning water heat sensor (22), Exiting/Outgoing water heat sensor (23), electric current direction changer (26), second peltier (27) and the radiator functioned heating/cooling section (30) that used in dwellings/work places.

Peltier plate (1) is glued with thermal paste upon the current radiators used in dwellings or work places. On the other face of peltier plate (1), an automobile radiator or a wired radiator with the same functionality is glued with thermal paste and a piece of aluminum plate. Thermal insulation is applied between two radiators to eliminate forming of a heat bridge and firm plastic stoppers (33) are placed between the radiators to prevent crushing of the peltier material.

Subject's functional structure can be explained by a simple example; Peltier plate (1 , 27), which is glued to dwelling/office type radiator on one side and is glued to the automobile type radiator(wired) on the other side, through

Installation water circulation pump (49) transfers one of the heating/cooling functions to inside of the dwelling/work place according to which heating/cooling function is applied on dwelling type radiator; on the other hand , the heat (cold/hot) generated on the automobile type wired radiator is transferred to outside, in other meaning atmosphere, with circulation pump (11) from the water/antifreeze/Boron depot (32).

After continuous cycles of heating/cooling, indoors will start to cool/heat up, while the opposite kind of heat that formed as a result of the operation is discharged outside, to the atmosphere.

In figure-5, a device is developed that two automobile type wired liquid mixture depot (32) is glued on two sides of it, leaving the peltier plates (1 ) in between the depots; and can be used as a mobile device with the help of heat insulated (2) protective stoppers (33), one or more peltier plate(s) (1 ). The device also contains an electrical current direction changer (26) circuit, which makes it able to generate both heating and cooling. This device is formed in two main sections. The first main section undertakes the cooling/heating responsibility for dwelling/work place indoors, while the second main section does the discharging the unwanted opposite heating/cooling to the atmosphere. This device can be used separately without being assembled to any installations like electric radiators, or it can be assembled to an installation.

The first main section contains; cooling fan/aluminum cooling fan (3), system water or interior cooling/heating main body (18), command control energy and support section (19), heat sensors (21), a radiator functions as automobile radiator and a water/antifreeze/boron liquid mixture depot (32), water/antifreeze/boron liquid mixture depot cap (34), cooling/heating unit thermostat manual/digital control and gauge (36), upper grill (37), lower grill (38).

Second main section contains; cooling fan/aluminum cooling fan (3), thermostat manual/digital control and gauge (9), heat prompt connected to

thermostat (10), circulation pump(11 ) for water/antifreeze/boron liquid, cold/hot air evacuation hoses (12), energy support unit battery (13), AC to DC transformer (14), gauge and control cable (15), insulated heating/cooling section (16), the surface that sections are assembled together (17), command control, energy and support section (19), heat sensors (21 ), air intakes (24), air evacuation fans (25), outer main body with insulated five surfaces (31 ), water/antifreeze/boron liquid mixture depot cap (34), second radiator functioning like an automobile radiator and water/antifreeze/boron liquid mixture depot (35).

As a result of applying electric current across peltier plate (1 ), a cool air up to - 30° C is transferred into the interior cooling/heating section. Under the influence of this cold, water/antifreeze/boron mixture that placed in liquid mixture depot (35) is sent to the wired radiator that functions like automobile radiator with the liquid circulation pump (50), and this liquid mixture takes away the coolness generated on peltier plates and distributes it to inside of wired radiator (32). The coolness

distributed inside by the liquid mixture is transferred from wired radiator to indoors by means of fans (3). This way, closed loop is completed.

The loops continue periodically until the desired temperature is reached, after reaching the desired temperature system stops the loop process and thermostat halts the indoor circulation fan. When indoor environment is heated up by influence of outside temperature (atmosphere), thermostat re-starts the cooling function.

Meanwhile, +130°C heat is generated on the other side of the Peltier plate. Under the influence of +130°C, water/antifreeze/boron mixture that placed in liquid mixture depot (35) is sent to the wired radiator that functions like automobile radiator with the liquid circulation pump (50), and this liquid mixture takes away the heat generated on peltier plates and distributes it to inside of wired radiator (32). The heat distributed inside by the liquid mixture is transferred from wired radiator to outdoors (atmosphere) by means of air evacuation hoses (12). This way, closed loop is completed.

The system that halts periodically when the desired temperature is reached, continues to work until heat in the peltier plate (1 ) in this section goes down to +20°C. When this temperature is reached, the cooling fan (3) in the insulated heating/cooling section (16) stops, too. As a result, process of transferring the heated air to

atmosphere is halted temporarily. When indoor environment is heated up by influence of outside temperature (atmosphere), thermostat re-starts the cooling function. In the meantime, process of discharging the unwanted heat to atmosphere starts again.

5. Magnetic Cooling: One of the main unit structures of the system alongside the air- conditioning units is the one with the magnetic cooling/heating function applied.

As a result of this work, magnetic materials are divided into two classes:

1. Hard Magnetic Materials

2. Soft Magnetic Materials

Soft Magnetic Materials:

- Fe-Si Compound

- Fe-Ni Compound

- Fe-Co Compound

- Ferrites

- Amorphous and nanocrystalic materials (Boron based)

Soft magnetic materials are used anywhere that magnetic current (flux) needs to be conveyed from one point to another.

• Especially in hard magnetic materials, Nd- Fe- B have the highest magnetic properties known and they also have a very enormous market in commerce.

• In soft magnetic materials there are materials in amorphous state, also known as metal glass, Fe-Cu-Nb-Si-B (FINEMET), Fe-Nb-Zr-B-Cu (NANOPERM), Co-Fe-Nb-Si-B (HITPERM) have also an important place in commerce and they produced/used in vast amounts.

A new technology that hard and soft magnetic materials can be used together is developed under the title of MAGNETIC COOLING

A. As a permanent magnet: Nd- Fe- B

B. Magneto caloric material : Soft boron based magnetic materials

C. Magnetic shielding : Soft boron based magnetic materials are used.

Magnetic cooling principles are very similar to standard cooling principles. An IKLIMATOR main unit featuring cooling/heating functions is designed and developed utilizing the property of magnetic field to heat up the materials in the field.

Furthermore, there are two separate types of cooling system developed for magnetic cooling, which work with dual mixtures of Lithium Bromide - Water and ammoniac - Water. If the water is the coolant, LiBr becomes the absorber material; if the Ammonium is the coolant, water becomes the absorber material. The biggest advantage of absorption cooling systems is they operate with the help of the 50-80° C hot heat source.

Entering and leaving the magnetic field can be achieved in various ways, like the way a piston compresses air or with a rotating movement.

Magnetic cooler causes two different effects: hot and cold. The first is a cooled fluid, the second is a heated fluid emerged wile the first fluid is getting cooled.

Being one of these two different heat functions, cooled water is used for cooling and air - conditioning of indoors in summers; the heated fluid's heat is discharged to atmosphere like an exhaust. As a result, cooling of indoors is provided.

In winters, the procedure is applied other way around and this time the hot air is distributed inside while the cold air is exhausted to atmosphere. This way, a big efficiency boost and support to heating systems is provided by using direct magnetic heating or using the installation water to warm up the entering water on combi/boiler.

I. Description of providing cooling/heating by adiabatic magnetic field application with figure-6: After the system is heat insulated from the environment, magnetic field (53) is applied. Initially unstable molecules are lined up in accordance with the magnetic field. These molecules (or atoms) lose their entropy and heat capacity due to magnetic field and they start to heat up. While entering coolant fluid (57) to the magnetic field (53) is illustrated in figure-6, condenser (64) air blowing fan (58) can be seen very clearly. In addition, schematic illustration of the structure that closed with blind cap from outside (66) with vaporizer (63) in Iklimator main unit (65) is shown in the figure-6. Isomagnetic enthalpy transfer: In this step, the applied magnetic field is kept constant and Q amount of heat is withdrawn by means of a hot liquid like helium or water passing through the hot liquid exit (54).

Adiabatic demagnetization: After cooling the material to its initial temperature and isolating it, the magnetic field that continued for all the previous steps is shut down. This way, just like the opposite of step II; entropy and heat capacity of the molecules will increase, causing temperature drop and liquid exit from cold fluid exit (56).

After this process, system will be back to square one and heat flow to the system occurs from outside. In other words, the leaking energy from outside resets the system. The process can be summarized as "if the door of a refrigerator never opens and refrigerator is perfectly insulated, its motor does not have to work"

The heat increase/decrease of the system water is provided by means of circulating it in the thin copper pipe winding(7) or filling the a cold storage tank (29) and waterproof box (28), to ensure cooling/heating of the system water in the iklimator main unit (65).

By the command given to two way valves (62), the flow mentioned above provides coolness or hotness to Iklimator main unit (65) via malfunction warning gauge (15). This way heating/cooling for the environment is ensured.

• Between 2006 and 2009, Ankara University Magnetic Research group has produced and secured by patent Nd₂FeuB powders which will be used to produce magnets.

These dusts mentioned above and the main structure formed by magnetic cooling/heating technology will be included in our system. Up until now this

technology is projected to be used in defense industry and similar sectors; however for the first time with this patent (with our system) it will be used to provide

heating/cooling for dwellings and work places, especially with the utilization of the Nd₂Fei₄B dusts.

e.Cooling by direct use of solar power or combi boiler/central heating systems that generate hot water or use of the pressure difference caused by heat difference or the heat generated by peltier, vortex tube and magnetic cooling.

Last of the main unit structures of the system alongside the air- conditioning units, is the one with the cooling function by direct use of solar power or combi boiler/central heating systems that generate hot water or use of the pressure difference caused by temperature difference or heat generated by peltier, vortex tube and magnetic cooling.

In figure 7, the system with absorption cooling that hot water entrance is applied to the main unit of the system; and in figure 8, using secondary functions of the magnetic oriented main units, vortex tube and peltier - which are capable of cooling and heating at the same time - to support primary function are shown with the numbered parts. Numbers' counterparts are as follows:

Cooling unit with absorption (68) bases on the principle of increasing the pressure of the cooling fluid with a thermal mechanism, instead of a compressor used in cooling with steam compression systems to increase the pressure of cooling fluid.

The general principle of absorption is, 'the mutually soluble materials are less soluble in high temperatures, and more soluble in low temperatures'. In compressor inclusive systems, Freon gas is used as coolant fluid.

Lithium bromide + water and ammoniac + water solutions are used in absorption systems as a two fluid mix. In Lithium bromide + water mix, lithium bromide is the absorber, water is the coolant. In ammoniac + water mix, water is the absorber and ammoniac is the coolant. In absorption cooling the absorber is in liquid, the coolant fluid is in gaseous phase. While it is called as absorption cooling output (78), the mentioned solution is sustained in the solution depot (76) (see, figure-7).

If the absorber ratio is high and coolant ratio is low, it is called concentrated or strong dilution; likewise if the absorber ratio is low and coolant ratio is high, it is called weak dilution.

Working Principle of the System:

Although the absorption system (figure 7) looks similar to steam compression cooling systems; absorber, liquid pump are used instead of a compressor. In addition, combi boiler/central heating system or solar powered heating system (67) is used as a generator (72). If solar powered heating system is used as generator, two way valve (62) and hot water discharges (77) cannot be utilized.

Q_G generator heat is applied to vaporize and separate working fluid in the generator (72). Then Q_K heat is applied in the condenser, and vaporized working fluid phases into liquid form. After reducing the pressure on the working fluid which is in liquid form at high pressures, the working fluid is sent to evaporator (75) and it vaporizes while Q_E heat is being applied. Fluid vapor then goes to absorber (69) and it forms rich dilution joining with the weak dilution supplied from the generator (72). Meanwhile Q_A heat should be drawn from the absorber (69). The rich dilution in the absorber (69) passes through the heat exchanger with the help a liquid pump (70) and receives a bit amount of heat, and then it is sent to heating system (67).

Cycle continues in this manner. As shown in figure-7, there are three

temperature values in the absorption (69) system: Low and high pressure

temperature values with condenser (73) and absorber (69) temperature value (Both equal).

While the absorption cycle is going on, the installation water that used in heating systems and has an average heat of 20° C in summer comes into the main unit and gets cooled down to 10° C passing through thin copper pipes (7). When thin copper pipes are not being utilized, coolant water in waterproof depot (28) and cold storage tank (29) can be used to cool down the installation water.

The installation water at 10° C is sent to the system via circulation pump and then this water comes to the radiators. As a result of the air circulation developed by radiators and fans placed on radiators, assumingly hotter than 30°C room air is circulated and is passed through the radiators. At this instance the heat transfer between the cold radiator and hot room air starts.

While the installation water in the radiator take away the heat of the

environment, the cooling air in the environment is also ionized, purified from the harmful organisms like microbes-viruses- mites and cleaned from particles like dust etc. and balanced in humidity content by means of air-conditioning unit. The air- conditioning unit of the system that works in winters and summers carries out its functions as explained, whatever the main unit is.

Meanwhile the system water that circulates between radiators takes away the heat and gets hotter, as a result it returns to the main unit and completes a cycle. When reached to adjusted/required temperature (cold/hot), the system halts until the room temperature drops/raises approximately 2°C from adjusted/required heat, then it starts to cycle again.

Absorption Cooling System Elements:

Dilution Pump (70): Transfers the rich dilution from absorber (69) to heat exchanger. Usually closed type pumps are selected.

Generator (72): Also called boiler. With the heat transmitted to generator (72) coolant is separated from rich dilution.

Condenser (73): According to the design of the system they can be water or cooling with air. They condense the coolant steam received from the generator by lowering its temperature. Evaporator (75): The section where the liquid coolant takes away the heat of the environment and vaporizes. In absorption cooling systems, they generally are designed with countercurrent.

Absorber (69): While looking like a condenser from outside, the interior is constructed to form a good mixture with one or more laminated plates.

Heat exchanger (71 ): Two heat exchangers can be used as front heater and front cooler. They usually are countercurrent.

Expansion Valves (74): One of them is used to lower the pressure on coolant dilution; the other is used to lower the pressure on weak dilution.

Coolant Couples: Different working fluids are used in absorption cooling systems. They are Ammoniac - Calcium Chloride, Ammoniac - Water, Lithium Bromide - Water, Ammoniac - Lithium Nitrate, R21- Glycol Ether, Ammoniac - Sodium Thiocyanate.

To cool the system water of the main unit in I LIMATOR that uses the mentioned current Absorption (cooling with the help of heating) cooling technique;

• Solar power collectors, combi boiler or directly from the hot water acquired from central systems (Figure 7)are used;

• Providing a pre-cooling to the system water by using the hot water/air generated as a second function from cooling elements in the system (52) Peltier, vortex tube or magnetic cooling indirectly, to enhance the efficiency of the system, decrease the costs and to yield more energy (Figure 8).

While functional structure of the main unit (65) is explained until now, it also has the same visual structure and shape with a radiator. Just like a radiator, there are 4 water entrances and exits. In addition, there are two more round holes on the longer sides that evacuation hoses can be installed to discharge unwanted heat to atmosphere.

The reason why the main unit (65) is designed in such a way is, ensuring capability to work like central system main unit by increasing capacity with connecting more than one main units and easy use with central systems.
