Active and passive magnetic regenerators in gas/magnetic refrigerators.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Rare earth materials have found three types of applications in refrigeration technology. One is as passive regenerators in gas-cycle refrigerators; the second is as working materials in non-regenerative or in externally regenerated/recuperated magnetic refrigerator cycles; the third is as the combined refrigerant and regenerator in active magnetic regenerative refrigerators. Below 10 K, conventional regenerators in regenerative cryogenic refrigerators lose their effectiveness because the thermal mass of regenerator materials decreases compared with that of the helium gas convected in these cycles.
