Abstract

An air conditioning system includes at least a magnetic disc disposed in parallel along a rotary shaft thereof, permanent magnets installed within rotational radii of the respective magnetic discs, and applying magnetic fields to the magnetic disc rotating within a predetermined section, a heat exchanger for heating installed on a side of the permanent magnets, and having at least a heat radiation fin, and a heat exchanger for cooling installed on a side opposite the permanent magnets, and having at least a heat absorption fin. The air conditioning system has a simple structure, is safe from the fear of environmental pollution, and is suitable for a next-generation air conditioning system to be applied to a hybrid or electric automobile because it does not use engine heat or a refrigerant

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An air conditioning system comprising:
 at least a magnetic disc disposed in parallel along a rotary shaft thereof;   at least a magnet installed within a rotational radii of the respective magnetic discs, and applying magnetic fields to the magnetic disc, wherein the magnet is fixed;   a heat exchanger for heating installed on a side of the magnets, and having at least a heat radiation fin; and   a heat exchanger for cooling installed on a side opposite the magnets, and having at least a heat absorption fin.   
   
   
       2 . The air conditioning system as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein at least one magnet is a permanent magnet, superconductive magnet or an electromagnet 
   
   
       3 . The air conditioning system as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein at least one magnetic disc is made of a ferromagnetic material. 
   
   
       4 . The air conditioning system as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the rotary shaft is configured to move in an axial direction thereof whereby a desired air conditioning temperature can be controlled through adjusting magnetic flux density of the magnet. 
   
   
       5 . The air conditioning system as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein magnetic object pairs are installed on the upper and lower circumference of the magnetic disc corresponding to the magnet. 
   
   
       6 . The air conditioning system as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein the rotary shaft is configured to be rotatable within a predetermined angle whereby an area where the magnetic object pairs face the magnet can be adjusted by rotating the magnetic disc around the rotary shaft. 
   
   
       7 . The air conditioning system as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein at least one magnetic object pair is installed on an outer circumference of the magnetic disc in a diagonal direction thereof and at least one pair of the magnets is spaced apart from the magnetic object pair, and applying magnetic fields to the magnetic object pair within a predetermined angle, wherein the magnetic disc is configured to be able to reciprocate in an axial direction thereof. 
   
   
       8 . The air conditioning system as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein at least one magnetic object pair is installed on an outer circumference of the magnetic disc in a diagonal direction thereof and at least one pair of the magnets is spaced apart from the magnetic object pair, and applying magnetic fields to the magnetic object pair within a predetermined angle, wherein the magnetic disc is configured to be able to rotate around the rotary shaft thereof at a predetermined angle. 
   
   
       9 . The air conditioning system as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising a heating channel and a cooling channel that are partitioned by a partition, wherein the heat exchanger for heating is disposed on the heating channel, and the heat exchanger for cooling is disposed on the cooling channel. 
   
   
       10 . The air conditioning system as set forth in  claim 9 , further comprising a common fan installed upstream the heat exchangers in order to ventilate both the heating channel and the cooling channel, wherein the partition downstream the heat exchangers includes a temperature door. 
   
   
       11 . The air conditioning system as set forth in  claim 9 , further comprising fans installed upstream the heat exchangers in order to feed air each heat exchanger. 
   
   
       12 . An air conditioning system comprising:
 at least a hollow magnetic disc configured to rotate;   magnets installed within rotational radii of the respective magnetic discs, and applying magnetic fields to the magnetic disc, wherein the magnets are fixed;   an adiabatic partition installed in each magnetic disc so as not to be rotated together with each magnetic disc, and partitioning an interior of each magnetic disc into a space of a magnet side and a space opposite the magnet side;   a heating channel causing a fluid to be fed into the magnetic discs, to pass through the magnet side, and to exchange heat at a heat exchanger for heating; and   a cooling channel causing a fluid to be fed into the magnetic discs, to pass through a side opposite the magnet side, and to exchange heat at a heat exchanger for cooling.   
   
   
       13 . The air conditioning system as set forth in  claim 12 , wherein the magnet is a permanent magnet superconductive magnet or an electromagnet. 
   
   
       14 . The air conditioning system as set forth in  claim 12 , wherein the magnetic disc is made of a ferromagnetic material. 
   
   
       15 . The air conditioning system as set forth in  claim 12 , wherein at least one magnetic object pair is installed on an outer circumference of the magnetic disc in a diagonal direction thereof and at least a pair of magnets is spaced apart from the magnetic object pair, and applying magnetic fields to the magnetic object pair within a predetermined angle, wherein the magnetic disc is configured to be able to reciprocate in an axial direction thereof. 
   
   
       16 . The air conditioning system as set forth in  claim 12 , wherein at least one magnetic object pair is installed on an outer circumference of the magnetic disc in a diagonal direction thereof and at least a pair of magnets is spaced apart from the magnetic object pair, and applying magnetic fields to the magnetic object pair within a predetermined angle, wherein the magnetic disc is configured to be able to rotate around the rotary shaft thereof at a predetermined angle. 
   
   
       17 . An air conditioning system comprising:
 a movable cylinder configured to reciprocate in an axial direction thereof;   at least one magnetic object pair installed on an outer circumference of the movable cylinder in a diagonal direction; and   at least one permanent magnet pair spaced apart from the magnetic object pair, and applying magnetic fields to the magnetic object pair within a predetermined section,   wherein an area where the magnetic object pair faces the permanent magnet pair is adjusted by rotating the movable cylinder around a shaft thereof at a predetermined angle.
