Title:
THERMOACOUSTIC DEVICE AND THERMOACOUSTIC SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/093340
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A thermoacoustic device using a loop tube and capable of rapidly and efficiently performing heat exchange by rapidly generating a standing wave and a traveling wave and a thermoacoustic system. The thermoacoustic device comprises, in the loop tube (2), a first stack (3a) held by a first high temperature side heat exchanger (4) and a first low temperature side heat exchanger (5) and a second stack (3b) held by a second high temperature side heat exchanger (6) and a second low temperature side heat exchanger (7). Sound wave by self-excitation is generated by heating the first high temperature side heat exchanger (4), and the second low temperature side heat exchanger (7) is cooled by the standing wave and the traveling wave. The loop tube comprises a plurality of straight tube parts (2a) along the vertical direction and connection tube parts (2b) formed shorter than the straight tube parts (2a), and the first stack (3a) is installed in the longest straight tube part (2a).
