FIELD: power engineering.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of power engineering, more specifically, to facilities for accumulation, storage and release or conversion of heat energy. The heat energy accumulator comprises at least one control element and a working body, providing for accumulation of thermal energy and capable of releasing thermal energy as a result of action of at least one control element. At the same time according to the invention, the working body represents amorphous particles of refractory material, providing for accumulation of thermal energy when in condition of metastable highly destabilised defect-saturated condensed phase and release of thermal energy during phase transition from the defect-saturated destabilised condensed condition into condition of crystalline order.EFFECT: proposed accumulator has higher energy intensity in comparison with analogues available at the current level of engineering.5 cl, 1 dwg |
