The method of electric field-induced phase transition refrigeration
The present invention relates to a kind of method of refrigeration, particularly a kind of method of utilizing extra electric field to induce the ferroelectric ceramics freezing by change of state.
Except that conductor refrigeration (peltier effect), the existing cooling technic that has obtained to use all is operation material (working medium) to be undergone phase transition and from the absorption of latent heat of phase change with discharge the effect that reaches refrigeration by non-thermal type (pressurization, added electric field or magnetic field).For example, existing refrigerator and air-conditioner all are to utilize the variation of pressure to induce the gas-liquid phase in fluorine Lyons to become refrigeration.But because the refrigeration working medium fluorine Lyons that once was widely used is progressively forbidden the serious day by day destruction of atmospheric ozone layer, though employing can utilize existing equipment for the new working medium in fluorine Lyons, whether the new working medium with similar structures can be destroyed environment and still remain long-term assessment.In seeking new refrigeration method, the nigh the eighties that is applied in of adiabatic magnetic cooling once became hot topic.People are making great efforts to seek suitable magnetic cooling medium material, to improve cryomagnetic refrigeration output and efficient.But the difficult labour of highfield size is given birth to and the expensive development and the application that has also limited room-temperature magnetic refrigeration of rareearth magnetic material.The principle of depolarization refrigeration is similar, but because the size of electrode square is bigger than magnetic moment, so the fuel factor that Entropy Changes causes is littler than magnetic cooling, depolarization refrigeration also is difficult to practical application.
The method that the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of refrigeration, its refrigeration working medium cost is low, can repeat repeatedly to use, and can not cause pollution and destruction to environment.
Feature of the present invention is to adopt ferroelectric ceramic material as refrigeration working medium, add at a slow speed that at ferroelectric ceramic material electric field produces phase transformation to induce it, be transformed into ferroelectric phase by paraelectric phase, it is paraelectric phase that the electric field of decorporating fast then makes ferroelectric phase transition, the speed of ferroelectric ceramic material added electric field is less than the speed of moving back electric field, the time of added electric field is 0.1 to 10 second at a slow speed, and the time of moving back electric field fast is 0.1 to 10
-6Second.In whole process of refrigerastion, when ferroelectric ceramics becomes the heat release of ferroelectric phase society from paraelectric phase, become paraelectric phase society heat absorption from ferroelectric phase, the release that using electric field is induced the latent heat of phase change that para-electric-ferroelectric phase produces is freezed with absorbing, and utilizes to change the variation that adds, moves back electric field speed and improve refrigerating efficiency.The present invention has modification BaTiO as the ferroelectric ceramic material of refrigeration working medium

In the present invention, we propose according to the speed scale rate of energy dissipation in phase transformation (heat) circulation: utilize low speed extra show in the pottery and energy net value that the phase transformation circulation of withdrawing from the arena is at a high speed absorbed is also obeyed the characteristics of speed scale, with the low speed extra show latent heat of emitting is minimized, make the latent heat of absorption increase to maximum with withdrawing from the arena fast then, make induced transformation can produce certain refrigerating capacity an electricity circulation.We have realized that the clean cooling amount of once above-mentioned electricity circulation reaches 1.5K~5K.In this course, the merit that outer place is done is except that a part is used for refrigeration, and another part is absorbed by phase transformation acoustic emission and generation of defects and process of self-organization thereof.The then available following method of the self-organizing of defective is eliminated, and adds and withdraws from the arena and make alternating voltage progressively be reduced to zero as regularly carrying out sinusoid, so just can eliminate residual residual polarization (for example, boosting to the civil power in 50 weeks of required voltage).Also can heat 15~20 ℃, be cooled to operating temperature again after making working medium all change paraelectric phase into.In this process of refrigerastion, working medium can be used repeatedly, and cost is reduced greatly, also can not cause the pollution to environment.
