Develop a Design Basis Document / Owner’s Technical Specification for nitrate salt systems in commercial parabolic trough and central receiver projects. A Design Basis Document is to a project what a heat exchanger specification is to a heat exchanger, Extensive commercial experience in salt equipment and system design, much of it gained through mistakes and associated expenses. Distill the successful experience with nitrate salt systems from as many commercial projects as possible. Starting from 7 historical Design Basis Documents, compile a consensus description of commercial equipment and system designs.
