Summary

Magnetic cooling technology has experienced significant developments over the last five years. Most of the magnetocaloric prototypes use magnetocaloric alloys subject to variable magnetic field and coolant flow synchronized with the magnetisation/demagnetisation cycles. Hydraulic flow regulation has a major impact on the AMRR cycle and on the performance of the magnetic heat pump. This paper discloses a hydraulic solution implemented in a two stage linear prototype, where the volume, the flow rate and the coolant velocity can be controlled. The dynamic sealing of the system is also described, as well as the performance of a two-stage prototype integrating this hydraulic distribution solution.
