Summary

A tandem magnetic refrigerator has been developed for continuous operation between 4.2 and 1.8 K. The paper presents the design, computer simulation and construction of the prototype machine. The regenerative concept is employed in the magnetic refrigerator to obtain a cascaded magnetic Carnot cycle effect along the temperature axis from the cold end to the warm end. The prototype of the designed magnetic refrigerator has operated continuously, producing a net refrigeration rate of 12 milliW per magnetic core at 1.8 K.
