Abstract Corrosion and dissolution of containment alloy constituents is an important consideration in high temperature thermal energy storage using molten salts. While the focus of most studies has been on protecting the alloys from corrosion attack, an often-neglected aspect is the dissolution of alloy materials into the molten salt which leads to fouling and possible …
After the solar heat trap experiment measuring the temperature increase to 1050°C at the back of the solar receiver inside a solid block of quartz, even at the front, the temperature measured 450°C IMAGE©Solar thermal trapping at 1,000C and above. Solar receiver efficiency in concentrated solar thermal (CST) energy is determined by how much solar …
