Performance overview of caloric heat pumps:magnetocaloric, elastocaloric, electrocaloric and barocaloric systems: Update 2024

Abstract

The aim of this technical report is to give an overview of the performance of different heating and cooling caloric systems: magnetocaloric, elastocaloric, electrocaloric and barocaloric heat pumps. The performance of these innovative caloric heat pump systems is compared with that of conventional vapour-compression heat pumps. This overview is built upon experimental and numerical data collected from 160 scientific publications and technical reports. The present technical report is an update of previous supplementary materials for the article “Innovative heating and cooling systems based on caloric effects: A review” presented at the CLIMA 2022 conference (REHVA 14th HVAC World Congress. 22-25 May 2022, Rotterdam, The Netherlands). New entries from scientific publications have been added, and a few typos and interpretation mistakes have been corrected compared to the previous version of the supplementary materials
