Abstract :
In this paper, a permanent magnet based device for active magnetic regenerative refrigeration was described. Magnetic regenerative refrigeration is based on giant magnetocaloric effect. The active block of the refrigeration is a cylinder made of stacked gadolinium sheets and equipped with thermocouples.
