    Abstract: A controller is configured to, based on a characteristic information of thermal output with respect to a temperature difference between a hot end and a cold end of a working chamber, changes at least one of a flow rate of a heating target fluid in a high temperature heat exchanger and a flow rate of a cooling target fluid in a low temperature heat exchanger. At least one of the flow rate of the heating target fluid in the high temperature heat exchanger and the flow rate of the cooling target fluid in the low temperature heat exchanger is adjusted such that the temperature difference between the hot and cold ends changes in a direction that increases thermal output.

    Abstract: A thermo-magnetism cycle apparatus has a first magneto-caloric element (MCE) element on a low temperature side and a second MCE element on a high temperature side. A first heat transfer medium flows in the first MCE element and a second heat transfer medium flows in the second MCE element. A third MCE element has a first flow passage that flows the first heat transfer medium and a second flow passage that flows the second heat transfer medium. The third MCE element absorbs heat from the first heat transfer medium utilizing a magneto-caloric process and dissipates the absorbed heat partially to the second heat transfer medium. As such, the third MCE element actively transfers heat between the two heat transfer media via the magneto-caloric process. The third MCE element also passively transfers heat between the two heat transfer media.

    Abstract: A magneto-caloric effect type heat pump apparatus provides a thermo-magnetic cycle apparatus. A magnetic field modulating device has a rotary permanent magnet. By rotating the permanent magnet, magnetic field applied to a magneto-caloric element is modulated alternatively in a magnetized state and a demagnetized state. A magnetized period, when the magnetic field is applied, is shorter than a demagnetized period, when the magnetic field is removed. Thereby, it is possible to reduce weight of the magnetic field modulating device having the permanent magnet. The magneto-caloric element has a heat exchange portion which varies heat exchanging efficiency depending on flow directions of a heat transport medium. The heat exchanging efficiency in the magnetized period is higher than the heat exchanging efficiency in the demagnetized period. Therefore, it is possible to provide sufficient heat exchanging quantity even in a short magnetized period.

    Abstract: Magnets are arranged at intervals along a stroke direction with an interposed space. Magnetic pole surfaces of adjacent ones of the magnets have opposite poles. A detector is arranged with a gap in a gap direction against a magnetic pole surface of each of the magnets and acquires a sine signal and a cosine signal as detection signals of phases corresponding to the positions of the magnets, based on a change in a magnetic field received from the magnets according to movement of the detector relative to the detection object in the stroke direction. A signal processor acquires the sine signal and the cosine signal from the detector, generates, based on the sine signal and the cosine signal, an arctangent signal corresponding to a stroke amount of the detection object relative to the detector, and acquires the arctangent signal as a position signal.

    Abstract: An ejector has an interior nozzle, an exterior nozzle, a suction part, a mixing part and a diffuser part. The interior nozzle and the exterior nozzle are arranged coaxially with each other. A driving fluid is supplied to the interior nozzle and/or the exterior nozzle. The suction part is arranged on an outer periphery of the exterior nozzle and sucks a suction fluid by a driving fluid jet ejected from the interior nozzle and/or the exterior nozzle. A mixing part mixes the driving fluid jet with the suction fluid, and supplies a mixture fluid. The diffuser part reduces a flow speed of the mixture fluid and ejects the mixture fluid outside. An outlet part of the interior nozzle is arranged at an upstream side of the ejector more than an outlet part of the exterior nozzle along the axial direction of the ejector.

    Abstract: A magneto-caloric-effect element has a plurality of element units. The element units have lengths, respectively. The element units have different Curie temperatures, respectively. The element units demonstrate magneto-caloric effects. Two adjoining performance distribution crosses at a cross temperature. A temperature in the rated operational status between two adjoining element units is called a boundary temperature. The lengths and/or Curie temperatures are set so that the boundary temperatures and the cross temperatures coincide each other. Thereby, a plurality of element units can function at high effectiveness in the rated operational status.

    Abstract: A vehicle air-conditioner has a magneto-caloric effect type heat pump apparatus (MHP apparatus). MHP apparatus has a magneto-caloric element (MCE element) which generates heat dissipation and heat absorption in response to strength change of an external magnetic field. The MCE element can demonstrate high performance when an element temperature is in a highly efficient temperature zone. A controller has an initial control part which adjusts the element temperature so that the element temperature approaches to the highly efficient temperature zone when the MHP apparatus is in an initial state in which the temperature is out of the highly efficient temperature zone. Thereby, starting of MHP apparatus is promoted. The initial control part may activate an auxiliary apparatus. The auxiliary apparatus heats or cools a part or all of the MCE elements.
