Design particularities and first experimental results of a new generation thermomagnetic Motor.

Summary

A significant part of the low-grade waste heat is massively under-exploited and typically released into the environment without recovery. The main reason lies in lack of efficient solution available on large scale for low temperature sources. A proper solution could be the thermomagnetic energy conversion via the magnetocaloric effect, which can easily be applied to low temperature sources. In this paper we present the design and the first experimental results of a next generation reversible Thermomagnetic Motor (TMM) designed from a magnetocaloric cooling device based on an axial architecture. The magnetic field profile as well as the initial performance results are presented. The output mechanical power is investigated for a controlled frequency, and numerical simulations are experimentally validated. The initial results show that the TMM could easily be used for heat harvesting at low temperature level.
