Summary

In the last decades stricter environmental regulations and the phase-out process of high-GWP refrigerants have regulated more and more the traditional vapor-compression cooling technology, driving the development of cleaner solid-state alternatives such as magnetic cooling.
In this paper, we present our last developments of a new architecture large-scale magnetic cooling unit specifically engineered for commercial refrigeration. The mutual collaboration of research and engineering efforts demonstrates our expertise in areas such as mechanical engineering, optimal magnetic field arrangement, Active Magnetic Regenerator (AMR) geometry, and magneto-hydraulic synchronization. We will show the evolution of this magnetic cooling unit from its conceptualization, guided by an Artificial Evolution-based multi-physics and multi-scale numerical model, to its realization through detailed CAD designs. The prototype’s technical specifications and the initial operational results will be analysed and discussed.
