Summary
The central idea of the magnetic refrigeration systems analyzed in this paper is that of a MR having a regenerator composed of an integral number of separate stages but having only a single magnetic stage. In principle, each stage is thermally isolated from the others, but the stages are accessed by a manifold and valve system which allows gas to flow between the MM and the individual stages. The concept therefore is distinctly unlike that of the unusual continuous regenerator of gas refrigerators. Although a small amount of gas in the manifold is responsible for the actual transfer of heat between elements of the REGMR, it is clear from the cycle description in the caption of Fig. 1 that the fixed mass of the MM is analogous to a fixed mass of a working fluid in a gas refrigerator or engine. Both, in effect, are carried thermally through all parts of their respective systems.
