A BASIC MAGNETIC REFRIGERATOR: USING THE MAGNETOCALORIC EFFECT
Keywords:
Magnetic Refrigeration, MCE, Gadolinium, CFCs, Entropy, Magnetocaloric EffectAbstract
With the cooling industry contributing to a consistent increase in global warming, the development of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies has become crucial in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change. Magnetic refrigeration presents a promising alternative, using the magnetocaloric effect to achieve cooling without harmful chemicals. This paper focuses on using gadolinium as the primary magnetocaloric substance while understanding the magnetocaloric effect at room temperature and developing a design for a commercial magnetic refrigerator.
