New horizons in magnetic refrigeration using artificial intelligence

O. Chdil et al.

Summary: A number of magnetic refrigeration prototypes have been developed, but their optimization remains challenging. This study presents an efficient approach based on artificial intelligence for optimizing the cooling performance of multi-layer active magnetic regenerators. By using a nanofluid as a heat transfer fluid, the device's temperature span can be increased by approximately 20%. Furthermore, optimizing a set of 10 key parameters can enhance the prototype's thermodynamic performance by almost 40%.

Numerical study of a cascade cycle for the reciprocating solid-state magnetic refrigerator

Jing He et al.

Summary: This research describes and numerically simulates a novel reciprocating solid state magnetic refrigeration cycle at room temperature. The regenerative process is spontaneously completed between high-and low-temperature magnetocaloric material (MCM) lattices due to an ingenious double-layer structural design. Comparison between single-and multi-layer regenerators is conducted on the temperature span and temperature distribution characteristics by adopting layering MCMs with different Curie temperature points. The effects of crucial variables, including the model's structural parameter, operating parameter, MCM type, and arrangement, are discussed in detail.

Lifen Yuan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the cooling performance of a multi-layered active magnetic regenerator filled with first-order magnetic phase transition materials using a one-dimensional transient model. The type of materials, the number of layers, and the transition temperature interval between layers are crucial parameters that influence the cooling performance.

A. Plait et al.

Summary: A new multiphysics model of a magnetocaloric regenerator undergoing active magnetic regeneration cycles inside an electromagnet air gap is experimentally validated for the first time. The study provides insights into the thermal behavior of the regenerator under fully adiabatic conditions, with good agreement between numerical and experimental results. Additionally, an active magnetic refrigeration time constant for the magneto caloric system is proposed based on overall heat transfer scaling analysis.

Magnetocaloric properties of spheroidal La(Fe,Mn,Si)13Hy granules and their performance in epoxy-bonded active magnetic regenerators

Bernardo P. Vieira et al.

Summary: The study thoroughly characterized a commercially accessible La(Fe,Mn,Si)(13)H-y material in terms of its magnetocaloric properties and thermal-hydraulic performance in an Active Magnetic Regenerator (AMR) device. The regenerator bed built from epoxy-bonded spheroidal particles showed excellent mechanical integrity and reached zero-span specific cooling capacities as high as 300 W kg(-1). Results from a 1-D two-temperature approach AMR model predicted the performance data with average deviations smaller than 7% for the zero-span specific cooling capacity and 5% for the AMR pressure drop.
