New progress in molten salt for solar thermal storage
A novel ternary eutectic salt, NaNO 3 -KNO 3 -Na 2 SO 4 (TMS), was designed and prepared for thermal energy storage (TES) to address the issues of the narrow temperature range and low specific heat of solar salt molten salt. . Completed the TES system modeling and two novel changes were recommended (1) use of molten salt as a HTF through the solar trough field, and (2) use the salt to not only create steam but also to preheat the condensed feed water for Rankine cycle. The thermo-physical properties of TMS-2, such as melting point. .Read More Download PDF
