Rotary magnetic refrigerator
First Claim
1. In a rotary magnetic refrigerator comprising rotors which are packed with portions of a working substance at equal spacing along the outer circumference thereof, and which are made of a material having a low thermal conductivity, openings that are formed in the outer surfaces of said rotors so as to communicate with a high-temperature cooling medium, housings having cooling portions provided on sides thereof opposite to said openings, means which establishes an intense magnetic field near said openings and which establishes a weak magnetic field near said cooling portions, and means for driving said rotors, a rotary magnetic refrigerator characterized in comprising:
- two of such rotors;
housings having openings which are formed in common for said two rotors, and cooling portions which are formed independently with respect to said rotors;
single electromagnet means for establishing an intense magnetic field near said openings;
means for establishing a weak magnetic field near said cooling portions; and
drive means for rotating said two rotors in synchronism with each other.
