    摘要: An apparatus is provided that includes a heat pipe and a heat sink that includes a foam (e.g., a metal foam, a carbon foam, and/or a graphite foam) and is configured to exchange thermal energy with the heat pipe. For example, the heat pipe can include a thermal energy receiving portion and a thermal energy rejecting portion. The heat sink can be configured to receive thermal energy from a busbar and the thermal energy receiving portion can be configured to receive thermal energy from said heat sink. Alternatively, the thermal energy receiving portion can be configured to receive thermal energy from a busbar, and the heat sink can be configured to receive thermal energy from the thermal energy rejecting portion.

    摘要: An assembly for a magnetocaloric refrigeration unit includes a magnetocaloric core. Electromagnetic coils may be wound around the magnetocaloric core. The assembly further includes one or more cooling structures to extract the waste heat generated from the electromagnet coils. In some embodiments, the assembly may include one or more magnetic yokes disposed at the longitudinal ends of the magnetocaloric core. At least one of the top surface and the bottom surface of the magnetic yoke is provided with a micro-channel structure. In other embodiments, the assembly may include a coil housing disposed around the electromagnet coil. The coil housing includes cooling structures such as, but not limited to, a micro-channel structure, a fin structure, and a heat pipe structure.
