Magnetocaloric air conditioning: a more efficient, environmentally safe technology for large scale applications.

Author(s) : WAYNERT J. A., NILLES M. J., CAMPBELL H. G., ZIMM C. B.

Summary

The authors provide a brief history of magnetic refrigeration work. After an introduction to the operation and general configuration of a magnetocaloric air conditioner, they discuss the development issues for a device operating as a chiller for large scale, greater than 200 ton applications. The key risk areas are identified and risk mitigation plans are presented. They conclude with a description of a five year development program which includes the fabrication and testing of a prototype and integration of several full-scale devices into field demonstration sites.
