Abstract: A magnetocaloric effect element performs a magnetocaloric effect. The magnetocaloric effect element is accommodated in a container. The container has a container member which provides walls of the container. The container member is made of a nonmagnetic material. The container has a reinforcing member which is provided partially in the container and reinforces the container member. The container member is made of a magnetic material. The reinforcing member has a cross section that is vertically long with respect to the magnetic flux supplied to the magnetocaloric effect element.

Abstract: A thermomagnetic cycle device includes: a magneto-caloric element; a magnetic field modulation device that modulates an external magnetic field applied to the magneto-caloric element; a heat transport device that generates a both-way flow of heat transport medium; a phase controller that adjusts a phase difference between a magnetic field phase of change in the external magnetic field generated by the magnetic field modulation device and a flow phase of the both-way flow generated by the heat transport device; and a control device that controls the phase controller. The control device includes: a phase acquisition part that acquires the flow phase of the both-way flow of the heat transport medium or a reaction phase represented by change in heat emitted or absorbed by the magneto-caloric element; and a control part that controls the phase controller based on the flow phase or the reaction phase.
