A series of Gd1-xCrx (x=0.01,0.03,0.05 and 0.07) alloys have been prepared by arc melting. After introducing a small quantity of Cr into Gd, the Curie temperatures of these alloys increase. Magnetic entropy changes at the Curie temperature of Gd1-xCrx (x=0.01, 0.03, 0.05) alloys are nearly the same as that of Gd. However, compared with Gd, the magnetic entropy changes of Gd1-xCrx (x=0.01, 0.03, 0.05) alloys remain at a high level in a wider temperature range. So Gd1-xCrx (x=0.01, 0.03, 0.05) alloys are more suitable as magnetic refrigerant to be used in Ericsson Recycle for room temperature magnetic refrigeration. Our results and the fact that Cr is quite cheaper than Gd, suggest that Gd1-xCrx alloys maybe utilized as refrigerant in room temperature magnetic refrigeration.

Based on the experimental characteristics of iso-field entropy varying with temperature for the room-temperature magnetic refrigeration material La(Fe0.88Si0.12)13H1 or Gd, the regenerative Ericsson refrigeration cycle using La(Fe0.88Si0.12)13H1 or Gd as the working substance is established and their thermodynamic performances are evaluated and analyzed. By means of numerical calculation, the influence of non-perfect regeneration on the main thermodynamic performances of the cycle is revealed and discussed. Furthermore, the coefficient of performance (COP), non-perfect regenerative heat quantity, and net cooling quantity of the Ericsson refrigeration cycle using La(Fe0.88Si0.12)13H1 or Gd as the working substance are compared. The results obtained show that it is beneficial to the cooling quantity of the cycles using La(Fe0.88Si0.12)13H1 or Gd as the working substance to operate in the region of Tcold >T0 and, at the condition of a same temperature span, the cooling quantity for La(Fe0.88Si0.12)13H1 is larger than that for Gd.
