Summary
Room temperature magnetic refrigeration is a new highly efficient and environmentally protective technology. Although it has not reached maturity, it has great perspectives and seems to be a substitute for the traditional vapour-compression technology. In this article, the concept of magnetocaloric effect is explained. The development of the magnetic material, magnetic refrigeration cycles, magnetic field and the regenerator of room temperature magnetic refrigeration is introduced. Finally, some typical room temperature magnetic refrigeration prototypes are reviewed.
