Summary

This paper discusses a recently developed magnetocaloric unit by magnoric, which features an innovative longitudinal arrangement of Active Magnetic Regenerators. This design enables the MRS unit to be effectively integrated into a commercial refrigerated display cabinet for commercial use.
The prototype incorporates a magnetocaloric system with NdFeB permanent magnets, generating a magnetic field of 0.8 T in the air gap, and employs Gd-based alloys as the magnetocaloric materials.
The focus of this paper is on the detailed steps involved in integrating the unit into a refrigerated display cabinet. The integration process began with a series of numerical simulations using a previously introduced model, enhanced by an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA). This was followed by the CAD design of several essential components. Subsequently, we conducted and analyzed a set of experimental measurements on the complete system. The temperature regulation within the cabinet was achieved using a basic ON-OFF control mechanism.
