outline Magnetocaloric effect Principle Prototype : Ames lab & astronaut corp America Advantages of magnetic refrigeration Technology comparison Future scope
Ferromagnetic materials – alloy of Al, Ni,Fe,Co Paramagnetic materials – Cr,Mn, Pt, Pd, K, Cu. Diamagnetic materials – Zn, Bismuth, antimony. magnets
Expansion and compression of gas <30% Fridge, Bicycle pump • Evaporation of liquids very robust plants, animals, weather • Peltier effects not very efficient Radiators • Magnetic refrigeration ~60% Proof of principle apparatus ( Cooling with the help of external magnetic field) WAYS TO COOL
Introduction • PRINCIPLE : Magnetocaloric effect due to variable field • Currie temperature • (768°C for Fe)
Demonstration of MCE In a small physics experiment the magneto calorific effect in a gadolinium sample is demonstrated. Magnetization heats the sample up and demagnetization cools it down B
Thermo dynamic cycle • Steps of thermodynamic cycle • Adiabatic magnetization • Isomagneticenthalpic transfer • Adiabatic demagnetization • Isomagnetic entropic transfer
regenerators (a) Tubes – Cu or Ag (b) Perforated plates – stainless steel (c) Wire screens - Cu (d) Particle beds – ceramic or metal sphere AIM : To achieve good thermal conductivity
Large magneto calorific effect • Significant MCE at reasonable fields • Curie temperature • Environment friendly materials • Affordable, abundant and easily synthesizable materials Desired Properties of working materials
comparison Analogy between magnetic refrigeration and vapor cycle refrigeration
Green technology • Noise-less technology • Very high thermodynamic efficiency • Low energy consumption • Simple design and building • Long life • Low pressure Advantages of magnetic refrigeration
Ideal applications House hold refrigerators appliances Central cooling systems Room air conditioners Supermarket refrigeration ( display cabinets)
Future scope • Less mass of magnet by 3-d field concentration • Higher volume fractions of porous structures • Higher frequencies of rotation • Application of hybrid materials
CONCLUSION • MCE : dH implies dS • Magnetic refrigeration can be cycled • Magnetic refrigeration demonstrated to be • most efficient • very compact • eco friendly • Trouble free • Prominent MCE materials for room temperature : Rare earth metals. Use of Magnetic refrigerator reduces wastage of energy
