Patent ID: 8769966

Claim:
A thermal generator having a heat transfer fluid which flows through the thermal generator, at least a first thermal module comprising at least a first magnetocaloric element and a second magnetocaloric element, wherein the first magnetocaloric element has a first fluid passage and the second magnetocaloric element has a second fluid passage, wherein the first magnetocaloric element and the second magnetocaloric element are fluidly connected by the heat transfer fluid flowing through the first and second fluid passages, wherein the thermal generator comprises at least a first magnetic assembly and a second magnetic assembly, in which the first magnetic assembly subjects at least the first magnetocaloric element of said thermal module to alternating magnetic phases, and the thermal generator comprises a thermally insulating body insulating the first magnetic assembly and second magnetic assembly from each other, the thermally insulating body forming a first thermally insulated cell and a second thermally insulated cell, the first thermally insulated cell comprising the first magnetic assembly and at least the first magnetocaloric element, the second thermally insulated cell comprising the second magnetic assembly and at least the second magnetocaloric element.
