Internal Insulation and Corrosion Control of Molten Chloride Storage Tanks

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1606313
The U.S. Department of Energy Gen3 CSP program aims to develop integrated systems capable of delivering high temperature thermal energy to advanced power cycles [1]. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is leading a multi-national team to validate the potential of a chloride-based molten-salt system that uses a ternary blend of MgCl2/KCl/NaCl to provide higher temperature thermal energy storage capability (Fig. 1a). The economic viability of this concept is dependent on internally insulating the hot and cold storage tanks to enable the use of low-cost steel shells (Fig. 1b).
