Abstract

A cold accumulating material for extremely low temperature cold 1 is formed by filling pores 3 of a porous carrier 2 with magnetic particles 4 containing a rare earth element. The porous carrier 2 is desired to be formed of a sheet-shaped porous metal. A refrigerator according to this invention contains a cold reserving unit 5 filled with the aforementioned cold accumulating material for extremely low temperature cold 1. The above described structure is capable of exerting a sufficient refrigerating capacity with a small pressure loss of refrigerant (operating medium) and providing a cold accumulating material for extremely low temperature cold easy to process to a shape reducing the pressure loss and a refrigerator using the same.
