Abstract

Provided is a refrigeration circuit capable of stably generating a magnetic field from a coil of a magnetic field generation device for a long period of time. The refrigeration circuit includes a compressor ( 11 ), a condenser ( 12 ), an expansion valve ( 13 ), an evaporator connected to each other through a refrigerant pipe ( 10 ). The evaporator is formed from a coil ( 14 ) formed with multiple through-holes ( 21 ) in which refrigerant flows, having a rectangular section, and wound in a solenoid shape, and the coil ( 14 ) generates a magnetic field. With this configuration, the coil ( 14 ) as the evaporator can be efficiently cooled with refrigerant, and therefore, a strong magnetic field can be stably generated for a long period of time.

Claims (16)

1 . A refrigeration circuit comprising:

a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, an evaporator connected to each other through a refrigerant pipe,

wherein the evaporator is a coil formed in such a manner that a coil base formed with multiple through-holes in which refrigerant flows is wound in a solenoid shape, and

the coil generates a magnetic field.

2 . The refrigeration circuit according to claim 1 , wherein

the through-holes are arranged in a roll diameter direction of the coil in a section of the coil base.

3 . The refrigeration circuit according to claim 1 , wherein

the coil base has a rectangular section, and is wound such that a long side of the section is along a roll diameter direction of the coil.

4 . The refrigeration circuit according to claim 1 , wherein

the coil is covered with an insulating material.

5 . The refrigeration circuit according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a current generator connected to inlet and outlet sides of the coil to supply alternating current.

6 . The refrigeration circuit according to claim 1 , wherein

inlet-side and outlet-side couplings of the coil are connected to the refrigerant pipe through an insulator.

7 . The refrigeration circuit according to claim 1 , wherein

hydrofluorocarbon, hydrofluoroolefin, carbon dioxide, or a refrigerant mixture thereof is used as the refrigerant.
