Magnetically driven thermal changes in magnetocaloric materials have, for several decades,
been exploited to pump heat near room temperature. By contrast, their electrocaloric and …

Barocaloric is the more recent among the caloric technologies employing solid-state
materials. The name derives from BaroCaloric Effect (BCE), the phenomenon responsible of …

The discovery of giant caloric effects and further investigation on device systems that can
compete with current heat management technologies in terms of efficiency have led to a …

The design of a rotary active magnetic regenerator heat pump device with a multi-bed
concept is presented. Important design features are the rotating two-pole magnet assembly …

In this research, a novel reciprocating solid state magnetic refrigeration (MR) cycle at room
temperature is described and numerically simulated. An ingenious double-layer structural …

One of the main problems in the framework of magnetic refrigeration regards low adiabatic
temperature changes that occur in the magnetocaloric materials, which limits the …

We present the performance of an active magnetic regenerator prototype with a multi-bed
concept and parallel flow circuit. The prototype applies a two-pole permanent magnet …

We present an experimental and numerical comparison of epoxy bonded multi-layered La
(Fe, Si, Mn) 13 H y active magnetic regenerators. First, no-load tests were performed on four …

A number of magnetic refrigeration prototypes have been developed in recent years.
Nevertheless, their optimization remains a challenging process. This paper presents an …

Layering magnetocaloric materials with different transition temperatures is an effective way
to improve the cooling performance of magnetic cooling systems. The optimum layering …
