A method for generating a heat flow from a magnetocaloric element () comprising at least one magnetocaloric material () comprising a hot end () associated with a hot chamber () and a cold end () associated with a cold chamber (), the method comprises magnetically and alternately activating and de-activating the magnetocaloric element () and circulating a heat transfer fluid through the magnetocaloric element () alternately towards the hot chamber () and the cold chamber () in synchronisation with the magnetic activation and de-activation phases. This method is characterized in that the method comprises reversing the direction of circulation of the heat transfer fluid during the magnetic activation and de-activation phases and also relates to a magnetocaloric heat generator implementing the method.
