Abstract
A heat transfer system comprising a pair of zones positioned at respective locations of differing temperatures between which heat is transferred; a first element one surface of which conducts heat; a second element, one end of which communicated with one of the pair of zones and the other end of which communicates with the other of the pair of zones and one surface of which conducts heat and is slidably engaged with the heat-conducting surface of the first element and means for establishing oscillatory movement of the second element between the pair of zones such that the heat-conducting surface thereof slidably engages the heat-conducting surface of the first element and such that the ends thereof do not communicate with the other of the pair of zones.
Claims11
A heat-transfer system comprising:
- a pair of zones adapted for positioning at respective locations of differing temperature between which it is desired to transfer heat;
- at least a first element, one surface of which comprises a material which conducts heat;
- at least a second element one end of which communicates with one of said pair of zones and the other end of which communicates with the other of said pair of zones, and, one surface of which comprises a material which conducts heat and is slidably engaged with said heat-conducting surface of said at least first element;
- and
- means for establishing oscillatory movement of said at least second element between said pair of zones such that said heat-conducting heat-conducting surface thereof slidably engages said heat-conducting surface of said at least first element and such that said ends thereof do not communicate with the other of said pair of zones.
