Drastically reduced use of rare earths in applications of magnetocalorics (DRREAM)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
"We will examine the life cycle of rare earth metals used in magnetic phase change technologies. Our primary focus is on room temperature magnetic cooling, a near-market solid state alternative to gas compression in which a phase change “magnetocaloric” material is magnetised by a permanent magnet. We will address the fabrication, manufacture and use of the magnetocaloric material, aiming: (1) ...

Replacement and Original Magnet Engineering Options (ROMEO)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2015,
Permanent magnets are vital components in an enormous number of domestic and industrial devices, and they are particularly crucial within the rapidly-developing renewable energy sector, where the motors for electric vehicles and the generators in wind turbines require strong magnets with the ability to operate at temperatures well over 100°C. Currently, these magnets are based on the rare earth el ...

Solid State Energy Efficient Cooling (SSEEC)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2011,
We propose to develop a high efficiency heat pump and an air conditioner based on a magnetic refrigeration cycle. Both devices will operate at room temperature. The core materials research will centre around the identification, synthesis, modeling and production of low cost, environmentally friendly magnetic refrigerant materials that operate in low magnetic fields and the synthesis and production ...
