ONE-PIECE PART INCLUDING A MAGNETOCALORIC MATERIAL NOT INCLUDING AN ALLOY INCLUDING IRON AND SILICON AND A LANTHANIDE, AND HEAT GENERATOR INCLUDING SAID PART

摘要

The present invention relates to an integral component comprising a magnetocaloric material that does not comprise an alloy comprising iron, silicon and lanthanide, said component being characterized in that the component is defined by a first direction (Dx) and a second direction (Dy) A base located in a first plane, and _a set of N unit blades (La _{, i} ) tightly connected to said base; Wherein the blades have a first dimension (DL _{ai, x} ) in the first direction and a second dimension (DL _{ai, y} ) in the second direction, Has a third dimension (DL _{ai, z} ) in three directions (Dz); the i-th blade is separated from the (i + 1) -th blade by the i-th distance di; The ratio between the second dimension and the first dimension is 10 or greater; The ratio between the third dimension and the first dimension is 6 or greater; The first dimension is characterized by having the same number of digits as the distance between the i-th blade and the (i + 1) -th blade. The present invention also relates to a thermal generator comprising integral components of the present invention.
