..., 2012. Assoc. Editor: Manuel Romero Alvarez. 23 11 2011 06 05 2012 The thermal stability of a molten LiNaK carbonate salt, potentially suitable for thermal energy storage, was studied up to a temperature of 1000 °C. The salt investigated was the eutectic Li 2 CO 3 –Na 2 CO 3 –K 2 CO...

...Justin W. Raade; David Padowitz This paper describes an advanced heat transfer fluid (HTF) consisting of a novel mixture of inorganic salts with a low melting point and high thermal stability. These properties produce a broad operating range molten salt and enable effective thermal storage...

... energy storage concept for solar power towers is being developed, in which quartz sand serves as a storage medium. Sand is suitable due to its properties such as high thermal stability, specific heat capacity, and low-cost availability. Compared with storages based on ceramic bodies, the use of sand...

... . Physical properties of these salts, such as viscosity and density, are reported as well as thermal stability in air. Such a molten salt mixture, with a low liquidus temperature, has the potential to make parabolic trough collectors economically competitive with traditional power generation schemes...

... of the art. Both improvements require a new heat transfer fluid that must have a very low vapor pressure at the hot operating temperature and combined with a high thermal stability, higher than 450 ° C . Further, the piping layout of trough plants dictates that the fluid not be allowed to freeze, which...
