Summary:Active Magnetic Regenerative (AMR) Refrigeration is currently being investigated by the authors in the hopes of creating compact and efficient devices for the liquefaction of cryofuels. In the past, progress has been hindered by a lack of understanding as to how one creates an effective AMR. Measurements of the thermodynamic properties of potential refrigerants were found to be insufficient and dynamic tests of materials undergoing an AMR cycle were needed. To address this need, an AMR Test Apparatus was developed. An overview of the operating experience and some key experimental results produced by the AMRTA are reported. Areas of ongoing study will also be discussed.
