Abstract
A thermo-magnetic exchanging device includes a heat exchanging element and a magnet unit. The heat exchanging element has at least one channel to convey a heat-carrying fluid. The magnet unit is disposed around the heat exchanging element and provides a magnetic field to the heat exchanging element. The magnitude of the magnetic field is non-uniform. The cross-sectional area of the channel corresponds to the magnetic field so that temperature gradients at different points of the heat exchanging element are substantially the same when the heat-carrying fluid flows through the channel.
