Abstract
A magnetocaloric element () made by an alignment of at least two adjacent sets (MC-) of magnetocaloric materials having different Curie temperatures. The magnetocaloric materials within a same set (MC-) have the same Curie temperature. The sets (MC-) are arranged according to an increasing Curie temperature, and the magnetocaloric element () comprises elements (MA-) for initiating a temperature gradient between a hot end () and an opposed cold end () of the magnetocaloric element ().
