Alternative Caloric Energy Conversions

  • First Online:
Magnetocaloric Energy Conversion

Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

In this chapter some alternative, “ferroic”, solid-state energy conversion technologies are presented. These are the electrocaloric (pyroelectric), the barocaloric and the elastocaloric energy conversions. In their nature, they are analogous to magnetocaloric energy conversion; however, different external influences are needed to initialize the caloric effect. In the case of electrocaloric energy conversion, this is related to a change in the electric field, in the case of barocalorics, to a change in the hydrostatic pressure, and in case of elastocaloric energy conversion, to a change in the mechanical stress.
