METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MONOBLOC MAGNETOCALORIC ELEMENT, MAGNETOCALORIC ELEMENT OBTAINED, AND THERMAL APPARATUS COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE MAGNETOCALORIC ELEMENT

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a monoblock magnetocaloric element, in which at least one support piece (S1) made in at least one mechanically resistant material is manufactured, and at least partially said support (S1) by at least one magnetocaloric effect material. The covering step consists in mechanically connecting, or even intimately bonding the magnetocaloric material to the support piece, so as to produce a magnetocaloric element in the form of a single piece. The magnetocaloric element obtained thus has a mechanical core ensuring its mechanical strength and a thermal surface ensuring its ability to achieve a magnetocaloric effect.
