Summary

This work presents an elastocaloric cooling device, tested with various natural rubber (NR) samples. The device is based on a 4-step process: stretching, contact with the heat sink, un-stretching, and finally contact with the heat source. A comparison of different types of natural rubber films is reported, in order to investigate whether the NR film used has a strong impact on the cooling performances. It was shown that the NR films exact composition has a small impact on the elastocaloric effect exhibited by the rubber, whereas the thickness of the NR films is the main parameter for cooling power and the effectiveness of the heat transfer between NR film and heat exchangers.
