We present the experimental results compared with numerical simulations of a fifteen-layer epoxy bonded regenerator with the first order phase transition material La(Fe,Mn,Si)13Hy. The maximum temperature span established at zero-load conditions was δTspan=15.4 K at U=0.5. The experimental investigation was conducted in a medium-scale rotary device at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. The La(Fe,Mn,Si)13Hy materials were bonded with 2.3 wt. % epoxy by Vacuumschmelze GmbH, Germany. The experimental results and numerical modeling are in good agreement.
