SIMPLE MODEL OF MAGNETOCALORIC COOLING DEVICE BASED ON HEAT CAPACITY EQUATIONS

摘要

This paper presents the model of magnetocaloric cooling device and results of their simulations. This model is extended version of model presented in the past, where calculation was simplified to one point of heat exchanging [1]. In current version were used the same equations based on the formulas of the heat capacity and energy balance. Main difference was that flow system was modelled as set of reservoirs arranged in series and creating one long Active Magnetic Regenerator. This configurations allows to calculate final temperature difference between Cold and Hot Heat exchanger and observe temperature changes inside regenerator along the main flow path.
