MAGNETIC REFRIGERATION

MAGNETIC REFRIGERATION

ABSTRACT

With rapid phase out of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), however many researchers and users are looking at an alternative or not in kind technologies for performing heating and cooling duties. The magnetic refrigeration is nothing but the same not in kind technology. The report deals with the construction, working & advantages of the system.
The magnetic refrigeration is based on the magneto-caloric effect i.e. ability of some material to get heated when some magnetic field is applied to them & get cooled when magnetic field is removed.
The currently used refrigeration system i.e. vapor compression refrigeration system is not environmental friendly. Since it is causing depletion of ozone layer & thus promoting Global Warming. Hence alternative system is required.
Compare with the vapor compression refrigeration system, magnetic refrigeration system offers no. of advantages on part of space & efficiency but the main thing is that it is environmental friendly.
