A magneto-caloric thermal generator with modular configuration in which thermal modules are connectable together in the series and / or in parallel, for heating, tempering, air conditioning or refrigeration in any industrial or domestic installation.

Abstract

The present invention concerns a compact, multi-purpose magneto-calorific thermal generator of high thermal efficiency, having a maximal heat exchange coefficient, while being simple to industrialise in order to respond to a wide range of both industrial and domestic applications. The thermal generator (1) is characterised in that it comprises at least one thermal module (10) constituted from many thermal elements (40), stacked and arranged in order to delimit between each other channels for the circulation of heat transfer fluid, these channels being divided into hot channels in which the heat transfer fluid of the hot circuit flows and cold channels in which the heat transfer fluid of the cold circuit flows, the hot and cold channels being alternated between the said thermal elements (40) and in that the said thermal elements have fluid inlet and outlet orifices which communicate with each other so as to distribute the flow of heat transfer fluid of each hot and cold collector circuit respectively in the corresponding hot and cold channels. Applications: Heating, tempering, air conditioning or refrigeration in any industrial or domestic installation.
