Introduction Results Conclusions

Conclusions

In this contribution we experimentally show that a combinationof two Nanoperm amorphous ribbons forming a two-phasecomposite system may lead to:

A considerably increase of the δTFWHM with the consequentenhancement in the RCP;

A Flattening of the ∆SM(T ) curve which improves therefrigerant efficiency of the refrigerant thermodynamic cycle.

The latter is possible due to the broad ∆SM(T ) curve shown byNanoperm alloys and their combination in a proper way (i.e, theright selection of both, the δTC of the two alloys chosen to formthe composite, and the relative weight fraction).
