Highly efficient and sustainable refrigeration based on solid state Magnetic Cooling Device
Magnotherm has developed a revolutionary magnetic cooling system that eliminates greenhouse gas emissions and enhances efficiency, achieving 40% electricity savings without harmful refrigerants.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Cooling and refrigeration account for 7.8% of global greenhouse gas emissions and 20% of electricity demand. The standard refrigerant F-gases have a tremendous global warming potential (GWP) and are being phased out in the EU. Available alternative gases are either toxic or explosive, posing serious issues for their applicability.
Technology Development
Magnotherm has developed the first industrially feasible refrigeration unit based on magnetic cooling technology that uses a specific class of material and alternating magnetic fields.
Patented Process
This is achieved thanks to a patented process to mass produce highly performant, stable, and cheap magnetocaloric materials using abundant, noncritical materials. The development benefits from interdisciplinary backgrounds and world-leading research resulting from TU Darmstadt.
Advantages of Magnetic Cooling
Magnetic cooling implements a solid state cooling cycle using no refrigeration gas, with:
- 0 associated GWP
- No risk to the environment
- No issues of flammability
Additionally, it is three times more efficient and achieves 40% electricity savings.
