MAGNOTHERM has made another breakthrough in magnetic cooling tech! Our materials team has successfully demonstrated that magnetocaloric alloys can be fully protected against corrosion and mechanical fracture when using water as an heat exchange medium, making La-Fe-Si alloys application ready. These crucial development efforts, led by company chemist Dr. Falk Münch and driven by Nico Wei?, Ulysse Rocabert, Cornelia Hoppe, Jens-Peter Zwick and Dr. Maximilian Fries, have been peer-reviewed and published in ACS Applied Engineering Materials under the title “Stable Operation of Copper-Protected La(FeMnSi)13Hy Regenerators in a Magnetic Cooling Unit.” (Link in comments) Timur S?RMAN, CEO of MAGNOTHERM, shares his thoughts on the significance of this milestone and recognition: “Showing that our coating process stays stable in-device underscores MAGNOTHERM’s ability to lead the way from the fundamental feasibility of magnetocalorics to actual applications. It is a huge step forward in terms of commercialization of magnetic cooling technology with a low-cost and high-performant alloy system.” This represents a significant step in paving the way for the broad commercial application of magnetocaloric cooling systems. Great work, #MagnoTeam! (Photo from left to right: Nico Wei?, Falk Münch, Jens-Peter Zwick)
