Abstract

Provided is a heat exchanger 10 including: wires 121 formed of a magnetocaloric material having a magnetocaloric effect; and a case 13 filled with the wires 121 , wherein a wire diameter of the wire 121 is smaller than 1 mm. According to the invention, it is possible to provide a heat exchanger capable of improving a heat exchange efficiency without causing an increase in size of a device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A heat exchanger comprising:
 wires formed of a magnetocaloric material having a magnetocaloric effect; and   a case filled with the wires, wherein   a wire diameter of the wire is smaller than 1 mm.   
     
     
         2 . The heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the wire diameter of the wire is equal to or larger than 0.1 mm and smaller than 1 mm.   
     
     
         3 . The heat exchanger according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the wires are twisted and filled in the case as stranded wires.   
     
     
         4 . A magnetic heat pump device comprising:
 the heat exchanger according to  claim 1 .   
     
     
         5 . The heat exchanger according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the wires are twisted and filled in the case as stranded wires.   
     
     
         6 . A magnetic heat pump device comprising:
 the heat exchanger according to  claim 2 .
