Performance overview of caloric heat pumps : magnetocaloric, elastocaloric, electrocaloric and barocaloric systems
In DCE Technical Reports, 2022
Abstract
The aim of this technical report is to give an overview of the performance of different heating and cooling caloric systems: magnetocaloric, elastocaloric, electrocaloric and barocaloric heat pumps. The performance of these innovative caloric heat pump systems is compared with that of conventional vapour-compression heat pumps. This overview is built upon experimental and numerical data collected from scientific publications. This technical report serves as supplementary materials for the article “Innovative heating and cooling systems based on caloric effects: A review” presented at the CLIMA 2022 conference.
