Summary

Thermomagnetic motors can generate power using low-grade thermal waste as heat source. These motors are based on the phase transition on magnetic materials (MM) around their Curie Temperature through heating and cooling under a magnetic field. MM and the magnetic circuit (MC) are the main components for the operation of the thermomagnetic motor. The MC is responsible to generate the magnetic field which is going to interact with the MM. The main objective of the present work is the assembly and experimental characterization of a double-C shaped MC to be used in thermomagnetic motors in the future. A double C-shaped MC was designed using permanent magnets of NdFeB arranged in a Halbach configuration using commercially available blocks. It is expected that this MC would enable the utilization of an amount of MM of around 100g per magnetic heat exchanger and at least 4 heat exchangers could be installed.
