Abstract
A thermo-magnetic power generation system includes a thermo-magnetic power generation device, a first circulating device, and a second circulating device. The first circulating device and the second circulating device are connected to the thermo-magnetic power generation device. The liquid is heated by the first circulating device and cooled by the second circulating device. The heated liquid and the cooled liquid transmitted to the thermo-magnetic element are recycled by the first circulating device and the second circulating device.
Claims21
A thermo-magnetic power generation system, comprising:
- a thermo-magnetic power generation device, comprising:
- a thermo-magnetic element, defining a first hot end, a second hot end, a first cold end, and a second cold end;
- and
- a magnet unit providing a magnetic field to the thermo-magnetic element;
- a first pipe, coupled to the first hot end and the second hot end;
- a first circulating device, connected to the thermo-magnetic power generation device through the first pipe, for transmitting a liquid into the thermo-magnetic element from the first hot end, and for receiving the liquid from the second hot end;
- a second pipe, coupled to the first cold end and the second cold end;
- and
- a second circulating device, connected to the thermo-magnetic power generation device through the second pipe, for receiving the liquid from the first cold end of the thermo-magnetic element, and for transmitting the liquid into the thermo-magnetic element from the second cold end,
- wherein the liquid received from the first cold end is cooled, wherein the liquid received from the second hot end is heated.
A thermo-magnetic power generation system, comprising:
- a thermo-magnetic power generation device comprising:
- a thermo-magnetic element defining a first hot end, a first cold end, and a plurality of thermo-magnetic portions arranged in a row and between the first hot end and the first cold end;
- and
- a magnet unit providing a magnetic field to the thermo-magnetic portions;
- a first circulating device comprising:
- a first main pipe, coupled to the first hot end, for transmitting a liquid into the thermo-magnetic portions from the first hot end;
- and
- a plurality of first branch pipes, coupled to the first main pipe at one end and respectively to the thermo-magnetic portions at another end, for receiving the liquid exhausted from the thermo-magnetic portions, wherein the liquid received from the first main pipe is heated;
- a second circulating device comprising:
- a second main pipe, coupled to the first cold end, for receiving the liquid from the first cold end;
- a storage tank, coupled to the second main pipe, for storing the liquid;
- and
- a plurality of second branch pipes, coupled to the storage tank at one ends and respectively to the thermo-magnetic portions at another ends, for respectively transmitting the liquid from the storage tank to the thermo-magnetic portions, wherein the liquid received from the second branch pipes is cooled.
