<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetic air conditioner, which is configured to have durability, reduce mechanical and thermal losses, and improve heat transport capacity and heat transport efficiency. <P>SOLUTION: The magnetic air conditioner includes: a heat transporter in which magnetic bodies 10A-10F having magnetocaloric effect, and heat conduction units 30A-30G for transferring heat of the magnetic bodies 10A-10F are alternately arranged; a low-temperature side heat exchange unit 40A arranged on one end of the heat transporter across the heat conduction unit 30A; a high-temperature side heat exchange unit 40B arranged on the other end of the heat transporter across the heat conduction unit 30G; and magnetism application and removal units 20A-20F for selectively applying/removing the magnetism to/from the magnetic bodies 10A-10F of the heat transporter. The heat conduction units 30A-30G enable heat conduction to the magnetic bodies 10A-10F when micro vibrations are applied thereto, and the heat conduction units 30A-30G interrupt the heat conduction to the magnetic bodies 10A-10F when the micro vibrations are removed therefrom. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
