MAGNETOCALORIC HEAT APPLIANCE COMPRISING A MAGNETIC FIELD GENERATOR

摘要

The present invention relates to a magnetocaloric heat appliance comprising at least one magnetocaloric element through which a heat transfer fluid flows and a means of magnetic activation and deactivation of said magnetocaloric element comprising a magnetic field generator (1) provided with at least one magnetic assembly (2) arranged so as to create a magnetic field in a gap (4), said magnetocaloric element (13) being in a relative movement with respect to said magnetic field generator (1). This appliance is characterized in that said magnetic assembly (2) is arranged in a casing (11) comprising at least one opening (5) that is in communication with said gap (4) and in that said magnetic field generator (1) also comprises at least one canalising means (6) connected with said casing (11) and able to capture and canalise the magnetic field leakages that appear outside of said magnetic field generator (1), in the region close to said opening (5).
