Experimental Investigation for the Magnetic-Caloric Effect on the Refrigeration Cycle Performance
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Engineering and Technology - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The present research aims to investigate experimentally applying of the magnetic-caloric effect on the performance of vapor compression cycle. Three levels of magnetic fields of 1300, 2400, and 3600 Gauss are used and two different locations for the magnetic field; condensate and suction lines are compared. The experimental results are analyzed and verified from thermodynamic point of view. The test results showed that; applying magnetic field at the condensate line or suction line improves the performance of the vapor compression cycle. For magnetic field applying at the condensate line, the coefficient of performance increases by 21.8 %, 29.6 %, and 33.2 % at Gauss levels of 1300, 2400, and 3600 respectively. For magnetic field applying at the suction line, the coefficient of performance increases by 3.6 %, 8.6 %, and 10 % at Gauss levels of 1300, 2400, and 3600 respectively. The magnetic field at the condensate line enhances the coefficient of performance than the suction line. Keywords: Vapor Compression Cycle Magnetic – Magnetic Field – Magnetic-caloric effect
