Abstract
An Interconnection integrated MHD pump is used in a liquid metal cooling system to provide a pump to the liquid metal by induced magnetic field and may be connected to main electrical systems of the cooling system for providing the magnetic field. The liquid metal cooling system includes an MHD pump, cooling pad, a radiator, and a fluidic channel. The MHD pump comprises a magnet on at least one side of one of the fluidic channel.
Claims11
A liquid metal cooling system, comprising:
- the liquid metal cooling system including an MHD pump;
- cooling pad, a radiator, and a first fluidic channel between the radiator and the cooling pad and a second fluidic channel between the cooling pad and the radiator,
- wherein the MHD pump comprises a magnet on at least one side of a segment of the first fluidic channel or the second fluidic channel, wherein the MHD pump is connected via electronic circuits to a current bus, wherein the current bus is an AC current bus and the magnet comprises an electromagnet, and further wherein the MHD pump receives AC current through the AC current bus from a main power electric circuit of the system and not from an auxiliary power supply for the MHD pump.
A Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Pump for a Liquid Metal based Cooling system, the MHD pump comprising a magnet on at least one side of one of a fluidic channel in the liquid-metal based cooling system, wherein the MHD pump is connected via electronic circuits to a current bus, wherein the current bus is an AC current bus and the magnet comprises an electromagnet, and further wherein the MHD pump receives AC current through the AC current bus from a main power electric circuit of the system and not from an auxiliary power supply for the MHD pump.
