1. A magnetocaloric heat generator (1, 10, 20) comprising:
- at least one magnetocaloric unit (21, 22) provided with at least one magnetocaloric material (3) in thermal contact with a heat transfer fluid (F) and at least one magnetic unit (41, 42) capable of subjecting the magnetocaloric material (3) to a variable magnetic field,wherein each unit (21, 22, 41, 42) has a modular configuration and comprises at least one fitting form (E1, E2, E3, E12, E13) in order to be assembled, without common assembly shaft, along a same median axis (M), with another unit (41, 42, 21, 22) which comprises a complementary fitting form (E1, E2, E3, E12, E13).

Abstract
A magnetocaloric heat generator (1) which comprises at least one magnetocaloric unit (21) provided with at least one magnetocaloric material (3) in thermal contact with a heat transfer fluid (F) and at least one magnetic unit (41) capable of subjecting the magnetocaloric material (3) to a variable magnetic field. This generator (1) is characterized in that each unit (21, 41) has a modular configuration and comprises at least one fitting form (E1, E2, E3) which facilitates assembly with another unit (41, 21), along a same median axis (M), which is provided with a complementary fitting form (E1, E2, E3).
