Active magnetic regenerator: a numerical and experimental study.

Number: 1676

Author(s) : NIKNIA I., ROWE A.

Summary

A simple transient numerical model of an AMR is developed and compared to a passive regenerator model in the literature. AMR modeling results are compared with experimental results obtained from a newly constructed active magnetic regenerator (AMR) refrigerator. Using the state information collected from the model, local rate of magnetic work is calculated and energy balance analysis is performed to find the total work input of the system. Sensitivity of the total magnetic work of the system to the working temperature range of the AMR is presented and discussed. The model is further utilized for investigating and optimizing the working and design characteristics of the AMR.
