  • the heat transfer medium is moved to the low-temperature end 16 side from the high-temperature end 14 side of each of the magnetic working bodies 11 A and 11 B by the displacers 8 after time equal to or larger than 0.25 ⁇ T2 and equal to or smaller than 0.33 ⁇ T2 after the permanent magnets 6 reduced the size of the magnetic fields to be applied to the magnetic working substances 13 in the example. Therefore, the temperature reduction of the magnetic working substances 13 can be effectively utilized.
  • both the control of moving the heat transfer medium to the high-temperature end 14 side from the low-temperature end 16 side before magnetizing the magnetic working substances 13 and the control of moving the heat transfer medium to the low-temperature end 16 side from the high-temperature end 14 side after demagnetizing the magnetic working substances 13 are carried out but it is also effective to carry out only one of the controls without being limited thereto.
  • the entire configuration of the magnetic heat pump device is also not limited to the example and the heat transfer medium moving device may also be configured by a circulating pump or a rotary valve in place of the displacer 8 .
