Abstract

With the growing concerns about global warming, ozone depletion, and energy resources scarcity, the major challenge of the refrigeration industry is the reduction of energy consumption and direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For this purpose, a large number of regulations were adopted by the international community or under discussion. In this paper we present an innovative cooling machine based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE). The magnetic cooling is a new promising technology in refrigeration systems presenting many advantages when compared to the standard gas compression technology, such as a decrease of energy consumption (high efficiency) and reduction of the acoustic and environmental pollution (elimination of the standard coolants). In this paper, we also present the basis and the various aspects of the magnetic cooling.
