Abstract
Refrigeration devices based on the magnetocaloric effect have been prototyped in great numbers
during the past decade. The search for the optimal combination of magnetic field source, regenerator
geometry, magnetocaloric material composition and flow system design has resulted
in a variety of designs and concepts. In this paper key parts constituting a magnetocaloric
refrigeration device are reviewed in terms of how they have been implemented in actual machines.
Some of the major design choices are then evaluated and, based on numerical modeling
tools, recommendations on how to optimize the design are given.
