摘要
This work reports on experimental studies using an active magnetic regenerative test apparatus (AMRTA) in near room-temperature refrigeration cycles. Experiments using regenerator beds composed of three different magnetocaloric materials combined in a layered configuration with applied fields of 2 T have produced no-load temperature spans in excess of 50 K. The test apparatus uses two active magnetic regenerators each containing approximately 135 g of refrigerant. An overview of the test apparatus, operating parameters, and performance is described. The impacts of operation at varying heat rejection temperatures, applied fields of 1.5 T and frequencies between 0.65 and 1.0 Hz are presented. In addition, the impacts of operating pressure and applied load on temperature spans are discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd and IIR. All rights reserved.
