What is the magnetocaloric effect? Discovered by Emil Warburg (1881) as the heating of Fe upon magnetization and the cooling of the same upon demagnetization (temperature change was a few mk!!!). Ann. Phys. (Leipzig) 13, 141 (1881)
The principle of the magnetocaloric effect = T 0 N N S ST T = T 0 +DT N S T = T 0 H S = S M + S L + S E S = S M + S L + S E T S = S M + S L + S E T "What is entropy, really?"
Low temperature Magnetic refrigeration Pioneered by Debye and Giauque in 1926/1927 Nobel Prize 1949 One-shot process - need for a cyclic process Giauque, Nobel lecture 1949
Advantages and Challenges Advantages Environmentally friendly Non-volatile, non-toxic refrigerants. Compact refrigerant is a solid Low frequency low noise. Very effective 60% of the Carnot limit has been demonstrated. Application areas Air conditioning units. Transport sector refrigerated containers. Home appliances. Challenges High magnetic fields are hard to produce. Cost of magnetocaloric materials and magnets.
