HEAT GENERATOR USING MAGNETOCALORIC MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention relates to a heat generator (1) comprising at least one thermal module (2) comprising a magnetocaloric element through which there passes a volume of heat transfer fluid carried back and forth through the magnetocaloric element from one side of the latter to the other by two circulation means (4) arranged in the thermal module, the said magnetocaloric generator (1) also comprising a magnetic arrangement (5) designed to subject each magnetocaloric element alternately to a variation in magnetic field, the back-and-forth movement of the heat transfer fluid being synchronized to the variation in the magnetic field, the generator being characterized in that at least one circulation means (4) of the said thermal module is set in motion by a contactless operating means (6).
