Description

A kind of little refrigerator and refrigerating method thereof
Technical field
The invention belongs to little refrigerator and refrigerating method thereof, particularly small refrigerator of ferroelectric rack array and refrigerating method thereof.
Background technology
The traditional refrigerating method that is applied at present in the electronic equipment has:
(a) utilize the fin of certain-length, freeze based on the mode of free convection;
(b) the strong convection refrigeration of utilizing fan to carry out;
(c) forced convertion and the hot transmission method refrigeration of being undertaken by water or other cooling thing;
(d) semiconductor thermoelectric refrigeration.
Utilize traditional refrigerating method, on the one hand, refrigerator need of work additional mechanical parts or refrigerant liquid, even based on the semiconductor cooler of pyroelectric effect, the hot junction needs fan or mobile refrigerant liquid to lower the temperature, and also has similar problem.On the other hand, refrigerator and device (equipment) to be freezed are independent of each other, can't carry out effectively local refrigeration and suitable adjustment control.
The microelectric technique that develops rapidly now, photoelectron technology and micromechanics electronic system press for uses the microminiature device, the limitation of tradition Refrigeration Technique faces severe challenge, and must explore with research and can contact miniature refrigerator good or that one chip prepares on same substrate, has high refrigerating efficiency, heat conduction efficiency and big refrigerating capacity with heater members.
The ferroelectric material system has excellent pyroelectric effect, i.e. the variation of ambient temperature causes the positive and negative charge relative displacement of ferroelectric crystal, generating electrodesization, thus different in nature bound charge appears at crystal two end surfaces, produce the signal of telecommunication.Material with pyroelectric effect also has backheating and releases electrical effect.Ferroelectric refrigeration principle is to utilize backheating to release electrical effect-electricity to give birth to heat (electro caloric is called for short EC) effect, when promptly ferroelectric material being applied external electric field, and the phenomenon that its temperature changes.If thermal insulation applies electric field and makes the ferroelectric polarization, then the ferroelectric temperature raises, and is called adiabatic polarization heating; Otherwise if thermal insulation applies reversed electric field and makes the ferroelectric depolarising, then the ferroelectric temperature reduces, and is called adiabatic polarization refrigeration.The basic reason that produces refrigeration is: electric field induces the entropy S of para-electric-ferroelectric phase transition to change, and enters the higher-energy state of unordered confusion by orderly low-energy state, need absorb energy from the external world entropy is increased, thereby obtain refrigeration effect.It has similar mechanism with the magnetic refrigeration, but the expensive development and the application that has limited room temperature magnetic refrigerating of high-intensity magnetic field and rare-earth magnetic working material.The low cost of ferroelectric material, having heat-flash releases the crystal of electrical effect and also has simultaneously strong EC effect, so ferroelectric refrigerator had both had refrigerating function, was easy to change electric power polarity again and was applied to the environment that specific needs heats, and was convenient to the thermostatic control of the particular device of specified temp work.
The ferroelectric refrigerator of prior art only limits to single cooling piece Proof-Of Principle, and the refrigeration temperature drop is less than 2K.As document 1: " Ferroelectric refrigeratory materials and their application.Piezoelectric and Acoustooptics ", Vol.16 (8), 1994:31~35, Shebanov LA, Bornman K J.Ferroelectrics, Vol.127,1992:143; Document 2:Xiao D Q, Zhu J G, Yang B, et al. etc. are described, and states such as Russia have reported employing relaxation property Pb (Sc 1/2Nb 1/2) O 3, Pb (Mg 1/3Nb 2/3) O 3(being called for short PST, PMN respectively) ferroelectric sosoloid is realized adiabatic depolarising refrigeration near room temperature, the performance of its single-stage refrigerator is: operation temperature area 210-310K, linear EC effect Δ T ECBe 1-1.8K.This research has been established technical foundation for worldwide ferroelectric refrigeration research.In the research before this, Luo Xi salt, BaTiO 3, Pb (ZrTi) O 3, SrTiO 3, LiTaO 3, Li 2SO 4, KH 2PO 4Deng the refrigerating material system because the EC effect is too little, or operation temperature area far below room temperature (≤15K), or need applying bias high (more than the 100kV/cm) or too low (the μ Jcm of heat absorption efficiency -3Level) etc. former thereby be eliminated.Domesticly develop Pb (Mg since the initial stage nineties 1/3Nb 2/3) O 3, Pb (Sc 1/2Ta 1/2) O 3, Pb (Sc 1/2Nb 1/2) O 3And and PbTiO 3The ferroelectric refrigeration effect of solid solution, the latter stage nineties almost openly the report.Present Research such as document 3: " near the depolarization refrigeration effect of ferroelectric ceramics PMN-PT room temperature ", Luo Haihua etc., Zhongshan University's journal, vol.33, No.2,1994:69; Document 4. " research of the ferroelectric refrigeration pottery of PMN-PT ", the Xiao Ding congruence, Acta Physica Sinica, vol.47, No.10,1998:1754 etc. are described, do not consider that the polarization of material heats in the continuous operation, and only depolarising refrigeration temperature drop is less than 2K.The continuous operation of monolithic refrigerator can't be distinguished hot cold junction, the speed scale rate method of temperature drop by energy dissipation in added electric field polarization and the depolarising phase transformation circulation of freezing only.As document 5: as described in patent publication No.: the CN1276506A " electric field-induced phase transition refrigerating method " (Zhang Jinxiu etc.).But 5 in document has provided the BaTiO3 sample in 127 degree (Curie temperature) unpolarized cooling and time relationships, and 127 degree operating temperatures are very high, be not suitable for electronic component room temperature refrigeration, simultaneously, polarizability varies with temperature sensitivity, refrigeration effect varies with temperature bigger, and cooling stability is bad.Document 5 has also provided the PMN-PT sample under different condition, only unpolarized maximum cooling, and the continuously clean refrigeration of circulation does not embody, and all documents all are the acyclic refrigeration of monolithic body material, execute the field voltage height, and device can't carry out bigger refrigeration continuously.
