A Solid-to-Solid 2D Model of a Magnetocaloric Cooler with Thermal Diodes: A Sustainable Way for Refrigerating

Solid-state caloric cooling is a viable route toward more sustainable way of refrigerating. The refrigerants are solid-state materials with effect detectable by measuring temperature variation through an external-field intensity change. could be particularized depending on the properties material and type field. Magnetocaloric occurring in ferromagnetic external Thermodynamically, two possible cycles regulating process system: Active Caloric Regenerative cycle solid-to-solid heat transfer (SSHT). former requires involvement auxiliary fluid for processes; latter, can regulated thermal diodes capability changing their conductivity investigation introduced focused SSHT system employing magnetocaloric as vehiculation elements. two-dimensionality model allows optimization dimensions both diode elements to achieve elevated operative frequencies. A comparison between was performed, Gadolinium LaFe11.384Mn0.356Si1.26H1.52. Encouraging results system, suitably employable field electronic circuit cooling, have been found.
