July 21st, the Baotou Rare Earth Research Institute informed that its magnetic cooling developed by its magnetic cooling engineering technology research center is expected to out of the laboratory soon, to high-end refrigerator market domestic and international mainly.
Reporters learned that the most difference of magnetic refrigerator freezer from the common products in market is the cooling principle. "Now the vast majority of cooling principles in market are the gas compression refrigeration technology, which in the process energy consumption, high noise; magnetic cooling technology are more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, quiet; obvious advantages." leader of the center Dr. Huang Jiaohong said.
Dr. Huang told reporters, magnetic refrigeration is the of key projects of Rare Earth Research Institute; the project was born from the high requirements and needs of efficient and environmentally friendly refrigeration technology.
"Compared to the compressor refrigeration, magnetic refrigeration in terms of environmental protection and more" friendly "." Dr. Huang said that through magnetic refrigeration technology, it realize that the cooling without ozone-depleting and other greenhouse gases, environmental damage to a few absent.
Reporter saw yellow lab macro focus on display before and after he developed a magnetic refrigeration refrigerator three generations of prototypes, and the third generation of the refrigerator is the basic design of the experiment was successful. It is reported that the beverage at room temperature for half an hour in the refrigerator can achieve the following cooling to 10 ℃.
"Now we have developed the third generation of the refrigerator is in the stage from the laboratory to the market, mainly for the global market after the high-end markets, such as product customization upscale wine cabinet, cosmetics and pharmaceutical storage cabinets and the like." Huang told Wang Jiao reporters, "Haier Group has been working with the Institute for many years, we provide a magnetic refrigeration prototype, with good results."
Reporters learned that the Baotou Rare Earth Research Institute to carry out magnetic refrigeration project since 1999, it is one of the earliest of China unit of magnetic refrigeration research and development. Which is performed in a magnetic refrigeration materials, magnetic systems, measuring instruments and comprehensive research in areas such as magnetic refrigerator, a number of units at home and abroad designed and developed a system of permanent magnetic field, the magnetic refrigeration rare earth-based materials, and a number of patents.
