About this document
Magnetic Refrigeration Overview by Vishnu Raju is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Magnetic refrigeration uses the magnetocaloric effect where applying and removing a magnetic field causes materials to heat up and cool down. This effect is used in a closed loop system with magnetocaloric alloy solids to provide cooling below 1 Kelvin without liquid refrigerants or compressors. Common materials used include lanthanide alloys like Gd5Si2Ge2 which show a strong magnetocaloric effect from changes in magnetic field. While efficient and environmentally friendly, magnetic refrigeration currently
