We report on direct measurements of the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of La(Fe,Si,Co)13 compound, which belongs to a family of materials prospective for magnetic refrigeration applications. Measurements in quasi-static magnetic fields up to 2 Tesla have shown the change of temperature up to 6 K. A new technique of measuring the MCE directly in pulsed magnetic field has been developed. This allows to investigate MCE in magnetic fields up to 70 Tesla. The set-up has been tested by measuring MCE of polycrystalline gadolinium. We have measured MCE of La(Fe,Si,Co)13 compound in the fields up to 10 Tesla. The data obtained are in a good agreement with the quasi-static data.
