1. A temperature control unit comprising:

  • at least one temperature control body, which is elongated in a longitudinal direction of the temperature control body and which is made of magnetocaloric material and through which or around which or both through which and around which heat transfer medium flows;

    a magnetic field arrangement comprising magnetic field heating areas which are arranged following one another in a shifting direction and cooling areas respectively between the following magnetic field heating areas; and

    a plurality of heat transfer medium flow zones following one another in the longitudinal direction of the temperature control body provided with the temperature control body and at least two heat transfer medium flow zones adjacent to one another in the longitudinal direction of the temperature control body to provide a heat transfer medium circulation sector, wherein heat input fluid can flow through or around or both through and around the at least one of the heat transfer medium flow zones for feeding heat into this heat transfer medium flow zone or heat discharge fluid can flow through or around or both through and around at least one heat transfer medium flow zone for discharging heat from the at least one heat transfer medium flow zone.
