Magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects(MCEs) of the PrSi compound were studied. The PrSi compound undergoes a second-order ferromagnetic-to-paramagnetic transition at the Curie temperature of TC= 52 K.Large MCE with no magnetic hysteresis loss is observed around TC. The maximum values of magnetic entropy change(DS) are found to be-8.6 and-15.3 J kg-1 K-1for the magnetic field changes of 0–2 T and 0–5 T, respectively. The large DS with no hysteresis makes PrSi compound a competitive candidate for magnetic refrigerant.
