Heat Transfer Fluid for Concentrated Solar Power and Thermal Storage Applications Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants require the use of a specific heat transfer fluid (HTF) that is designed to work to the correct temperature for prolonged periods in solar thermal electricity applications. How does concentrated solar power work?
There are seven key properties of a thermal fluid for solar application that must be understood before engaging in design work or decision-making regarding thermal fluid performance and/or selection. The properties include: Maximum temperature is the highest temperature before the fluid begins to break down or decompose.
It is the HTF used in the Solar Two central receiver system located in California and several other solar plants in Spain . This binary salt mixture has compositions of 60 wt% NaNO 3 and 40 wt% KNO 3. It melts at 223 °C and remains in thermally stable liquid phase at temperatures up to 600 °C, .
Water based fluids can be either pure water or a water and glycol mixture with either ethylene or propylene glycol which are types of “antifreeze”. Molten salts are nitrate (ionic) salts that are only available in concentrating systems due to the high temperature requirements of the fluid.
Water/steam has been used in the generation of electricity, and because water is a precious resource and has limited availability in desert and arid regions where CSP plants are likely to be located, other types of high-temperature thermal fluids are investigated. The viscosity of water at varying temperatures is not constant .
