Upscaling of SMA film-based elastocaloric cooling

• Elastocaloric cooling devices based on SMA films are upscaled by parallelization. • Two demonstrators are designed, fabricated and experimentally characterized. • The maximum cooling capacity increases by 4.5 times from one to five parallel films. • Key design issues related to narrow fabrication...
