Advanced magnetocaloric microwires: What does the future hold?
Keywords:
magnetic melt-extracted microwires, magnetic refrigeration, magnetocaloric effect, refrigerant capacity.Abstract
Magnetic refrigeration (MR) based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) is a promising alternative to conventional vapor compression refrigeration techniques. The cooling efficiency of a magnetic refrigerator depends on its refrigeration capacity and operation frequency. Existing refrigerators possess limited cooling efficiency due to the low operating frequency (around tens of Hz)...
