New thermodynamic cycles for magnetic refrigeration.

Number: sect. 3

Author(s) : KITANOVSKI A., TUSEK J., POREDOS A.

Summary

Most of the existing prototype devices in magnetic refrigeration are based on the active magnetic regenerative cycle, which operates as a Brayton, regenerative magnetic refrigeration cycle. However, there exist several other potential cycles, that may not influence only the efficiency, but also the cost, compactness, or simplicity of magnetocaloric devices. The article presents results of the numerical analyses, and compares characteristics of different thermodynamic cycles, under different operating conditions. Discussion on the possibility of the introduction of new potential thermodynamic cycles is given in the article. This is supported by the brief information and comparison of corresponding magnetic field sources. Important guidelines for the future work on new magnetic thermodynamic cycles are given in the paper.
