Abstract
A magnetocaloric effect element performs a magnetocaloric effect. The magnetocaloric effect element is accommodated in a container. The container has a container member which provides walls of the container. The container member is made of a nonmagnetic material. The container has a reinforcing member which is provided partially in the container and reinforces the container member. The container member is made of a magnetic material. The reinforcing member has a cross section that is vertically long with respect to the magnetic flux supplied to the magnetocaloric effect element.
Claims10
An element bed for a magnetocaloric cycle device, comprising:
- a magnetocaloric effect element performing a magnetocaloric effect;
- and
- a container containing the magnetocaloric effect element, the container has a container member for providing walls of the container, and a reinforcing member disposed partially on the container member for reinforcing the container member.
A magnetocaloric cycle device comprising:
- the element bed for a magnetocaloric cycle device claimed in claim a magnetic field modulation device for modulating a magnetic field applied to the magnetocaloric effect device;
- and
- a heat transport device for generating a reciprocating flow of a heat transport medium that performs a heat exchange with the magnetocaloric effect device.
