| Research Abstract |
Magnetic refrigeration is a cooling technology based on the magnetocaloric effect, which is a temperature-changing phenomenon caused under the magnetic field alteration. The primary objectives of this study are to construct a small-type demonstrator of magnetic refrigerator, and to evaluate the heat transport characteristics from/to magnetocaloric materials to/from fluid. As results from the experiment and numerical simulation, the maximum temperature is obtained with larger magnetic intensity. In addition, the existence of optimum operating conditions is shown under the condition of appropriate flow volume and volumetric flow rate.
