The present invention discloses a method, device and application of solid-state phase change heat storage and heat release of barocaloric materials based on glassy-crystals and active control, which belongs to the technical field of solid-state phase change energy storage. A glassy-crystal phase is an intermediate metastable state formed in the change process from a high temperature plastic-crystal phase to an ordered crystal phase, which can be obtained by cooling the high temperature plastic-crystal disordered state of the barocaloric materials quickly. Rapid cooling makes the high temperature disordered state of the material supercooled and frozen, thereby avoiding the full oriented order that generally occurs at low temperature. The material is applied with a small pressure, which can achieve the change from the glassy-crystal phase to the ordered crystal phase, thereby achieving heat release. The glassy-crystal phase has good thermal stability, thereby achieving long-term storage, long-distance transportation and controllable release of heat energy.

A solar water heating system can be implemented utilizing an innovative flat-shaped heat pipe as a primary heat transfer device. The system can include two small insulated rectangular ducts at the top and a large insulated rectangular duct at the bottom of the flat-shaped heat pipe. An absorber, positioned to receive, collect, and transfer solar heat, can be integrated into the system, complemented by a glass cover to minimize heat loss. The flat-shaped heat pipe, which can be constructed from a copper plate with porous wicks on its inner surfaces, can be filled with a working fluid. Solar irradiation incident through the glass cover on the absorber triggers the evaporation of the working fluid, absorbing latent heat. Subsequently, the vapor moves and transfers evenly to both sides of the flat-shaped heat pipe, facilitating the transfer of heat to water flowing through the rectangular ducts situated outside the flat-shaped heat pipe. This configuration optimizes energy efficiency, offering a reliable and cost-effective solution for solar water heating applications.
