Influence of Heat Exchanger Design on the Thermal Performance of a Domestic Wine Cooler Driven by a Magnetic Refrigeration System.Conventional and not-in-kind refrigerators require heat exchangers for their operation.  To investigate the influence of heat exchanger design parameters on the performance of magnetic refrigerators, a model was developed to integrate the heat exchangers, regenerators and thermal reservoirs.  The results were compared with data generated in an apparatus that emulates the conditions of the thermal fluid supplied by the regenerators to a cold heat exchanger positioned inside the cabinet of a retrofitted 130-liter wine cooler.
