Demonstrate for Rotating C-Shape Magnetic Refrigeration near Room Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

Magnetic refrigeration is a new promised technology based on a distinctive property magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of some materials such as gadolinium. This manuscript demonstrates a rotating C-shape magnetic refrigeration using finite element magnetic method (FEMM). The proposed configuration can be produced a mean flux density about 0.6 T in the high flux region and a value of 0.02 T in the low flux density when the magnetocaloric material was magnetized and demagnetized respectively. Also a C-shape rotating magnetic refrigeration model was successfully built and tested in Tafila Technical University at mechanical engineering laboratories. A 3 °C of temperature difference between a hot and cold end of heat exchangers was achieved.
