The results of the numerical analyses confirmed that magnetocaloric devices with thermal switches or thermal diodes can operate at higher frequencies than the currently used active magnetic regenerators, but we were not able to confirm this experimentally within the scope of this work. The reason for this in the case of thermal diodes is the limited state of the art and the unavailability of suitable materials, and in the case of thermal switches, the switching ratio was smaller and the response time longer than expected. Nevertheless, the guidelines for the rapid development of micro-technology, new material processing and machining, indicate the possibility of an experimental confirmation of the concept in the coming years.
