Calculation and Optimization of Molten Salt for Solar High Temperature Heat Storage

Abstract

The development of energy saving technologies is very actual issue of present day. One of perspective directions in developing these technologies is the thermal energy storage in various industry branches. To meet the requirement of high temperature of solar heat transfer and thermal storage, this paper calculated several sets of data for lots of pure salts and salt mixtures. The results show that, comparing with the ternary carbonate salt (potassium carbonate (0.7) - sodium carbonate (0.1) -potassium chloride (or sodium chloride)), the ternary chloride salt (potassium chloride (0.037) - calcium chloride (0.5) - sodium chloride) is more perspective.
