Abstract:Besides improvement of the magnetic refrigerant materials for development of magnetic refrigeration, an excellent magnetic field source is same important. Based on the hollow cylindrical flux source, a permanent magnetic circuit is designed for rotating room-temperature refrigerator. And after optimization by Ansys software, a permanent magnetic circuit, in which the average magnetic induction strength at the center of the working gap is up to 1.75 T, is got. Relative to the unoptimization magnetic circuit by Ansys software, the average magnetic induction strength in the center gap raise by 20%, and the magnetic circuit weight descend by 21%.
