On the basis of international cooperation and achievements in the field of magnetic refrigeration International Institute of Refrigeration (IIRIIF) has entrusted us to the co-organize the Third International Conference on Magnetic Refrigeration at Room Temperature (Thermag III), held between 11 and 15 May, 2009 at IOWA State University in Des Moines, USA. In the Thermag III Conference prof. Poredoš was also the co-editor of the proceeding in the field of magnetic cooling machines.

COBISS.SI-ID: 11049499In this paper passive heat regenerators appropriate for active magnetic refrigerators (AMR) are presented and discussed from the point of view of thermo-hydraulic characteristics and magnetic properties. Dimensionless numerical model for the determination of heat transfer coefficient is used together with experimental data for the evaluation of six different regenerator geometries using heat transfer, pressure drop and thermal efficiency as comparing criteria. Existent numerical model was upgraded with magnetic properties and employed in the numerical programme for active magnetic regenerator.
