Abstract

Previous studies showed that magnetocaloric heat pump,
based on the active magnetic regenerator technology,
can be used for space heating of low energy buildings.
This innovative solution has performances comparable
to conventional vapour-compression systems. However,
magnetocaloric heat pumps have limited temperature
span between heat source and heat sink. That
compromises their use for high temperature span
purposes such as domestic hot water production. To
overcome this issue, the authors suggest a cascading
configuration of several magnetocaloric heat pumps. The
results of the current numerical study show that such
cascading network can provide for the hot water needs of
a single-family house with coefficient of performance
which is similar to conventional heat pump systems.
