The diploma thesis addresses the design and analysis of a hydraulic circuit suitable for integration into a prototype magnetic refrigerator intended for room temperature applications. The hydraulic circuit was designed based on a theoretical analysis of the current state-of-the-art of magnetic cooling technology at room temperature. Based on this design, experiments and measurements were conducted to assess the fluid flow dynamics within the hydraulic circuit. We focused on analyzing the operating frequency of the hydraulic circuit in relation to the displaced volume ratio from the active magnetic regenerator, as well as the pressure analysis during alternating fluid flow through the system. The measurement results will assist in selecting the optimal operating point for the hydraulic circuit within the magnetic refrigerator prototype.
