The invention relates to a thermal generator (1) characterised in that it comprises at least one thermal module (10) including N adjacent magneto-caloric members (2) arranged in a circle about a central axis (A) and submitted to a magnetic field variation generated by a magnetic means (3) in order to vary their temperature. The magneto-caloric members (2) are associated with N pistons (40) driven according to a reciprocating translation movement by a control cam (70) in order to move the heat-carrier fluid contained in the thermal module (10) simultaneously in two opposite directions, so that a first fraction of the heat-carrier fluid flows towards a hot exchange chamber (5) through the magneto-caloric members (2) submitted to a heating cycle, and so that a second fraction of the heat-carrier fluid flows towards a cold exchange chamber (6) through the magneto-caloric members (2) submitted to a cooling cycle, and vice versa. The exchange chambers (5, 6) are coupled to outer calorie- and frigorie-consuming circuits, such as heating circuits, air conditioning circuits, tempering circuits, etc.

La présente invention concerne un générateur thermique (1) caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte au moins un module thermique (10) comportant N éléments magnétocaloriques (2) adjacents, disposés en cercle autour d'un axe central (A) et soumis à une variation de champ magnétique provoquée par des moyens magnétiques (3) pour faire varier leur température. Ces éléments magnétocaloriques (2) sont associés à N pistons (40) animés d'un mouvement de translation alternatif par une came de commande (70) afin de déplacer le fluide caloporteur contenu dans le module thermique (10) simultanément dans deux directions opposées, de sorte qu'une première fraction de fluide caloporteur circule en direction d'une chambre d'échange chaude (5) à travers les éléments magnétocaloriques (2) soumis à un cycle de chauffage, et qu'une seconde fraction de fluide caloporteur circule en direction d'une chambre d'échange froide (6) à travers les éléments magnétocaloriques (2) soumis à un cycle de refroidissement, et inversement. Les chambres d'échange (5, 6) sont couplées à des circuits extérieurs consommateurs de calories et de frigories, comme des circuits de chauffage, de climatisation, de tempérage, etc.
