Abstract
[Problem to be solved] To reduce the fluctuation in the driving force. [Means to solve Problem] A magnetic cooling/heating apparatus comprising: a heat transfer unitA comprising a plurality of heat transfer devices--, . . . arranged in parallel at intervals, wherein the heat transfer device-comprises magnetic bodiesA-F with a magneto-caloric effect and heat-conductive partsA-G that transfer the heat of the magnetic bodiesA-F, both of which are alternately arranged; a magnetic unitA comprising a plurality of magnetsA,C, . . . that are arranged so as to face against each of the magnetic bodiesA-F of the heat transfer unitA and to selectively apply and remove the magnetic field to/from each of the magnetic bodiesA-F; and a motorthat moves at least one of the heat transfer unitA and the magnetic unitA facing each other, relative to each other in the direction in which the heat transfer devices--, . . . are arranged, wherein a magnetically-permeable heat-insulating partthat has the equivalent magnetic permeability to that of the magnetic bodiesA-F and blocks heat conduction is formed between the heat transfer devices--, . . . of the heat transfer unitA.
