Title:
THERMAL GENERATOR WITH MAGNETOCALORIC MATERIAL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/061064
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a thermal generator (1) that comprises at least one thermal flow generation unit (2) provided with at least one thermal module (3) each containing a magnetocaloric member (4) through which a coolant flows, a magnetic arrangement (9) actuated for alternatively subjecting each magnetocaloric member (4) to a magnetic field variation, the alternated movement of the coolant being synchronised with the magnetic field variation, wherein said thermal generator is characterised in that said magnetocaloric member (4) is integrated in a closed flow circuit (6) connecting the two opposite ends (7) of said magnetocaloric member (4), and in that said closed circuit includes a single means (5) for moving the coolant through said magnetocaloric member (4).
