o
o
o

Economic and environmental issues for compressor-based refrigeration systems

Limited Coefficient of Performance (COP): high energy consumption

Harmful refrigerant gases: high impact on Global Warming - increasing regulations
Systems prone to refrigerant leaks: hazardous for the environment and safety issue
High pressure systems: costly installations & maintenance, safety issue
Noise pollution: difficult implementations in silent environment

The Benefits

The Magnetic Refrigeration System (MRS): a sustainable alternative

High Coefficient of Performance (COP): reduce energy consumption by up to 40%

No refrigerant gas (water-based coolant liquid): Eliminate harmful emissions Meet F-gas regulations
No gas leakage: reinforced safety and eliminate CO2 emissions
Low pressure system, no gas: reinforced safety, reliability and reduced maintenance costs
Less noise and vibrations: environmental comfort

A cost-effective, safe and environment-friendly innovation

Basics of Magnetic Refrigeration

Magnetic cooling: the physical principle

Magnetic Refrigeration is based on the

Magneto-Caloric Effect.
The MCE infers that some metal alloys or
Magneto-Caloric Materials heat up when
immersed in a magnetic field and cool down
when removed from the magnetic field.

E = m Cp t

A thermal span is generated by applying a

series of Magnetization-Demagnetization
cycles on MCM.

Simplified View of a Magnetic Refrigeration System (MRS)

In the magneto-caloric heat pump, heat is transferred from the cold interior of the refrigerator to the warm external air
by circulating a water-based coolant through the magneto-caloric materials as they cycle in and out of the magnetic field.
