Bath and liquidus temperature sensor for molten salts
Book
·
OSTI ID:371987
A newly developed sensor that measures both bath and liquidus temperature is described. The difference between bath and liquidus temperature is known as superheat. Determination of the liquidus temperature is based on interpretation of the time-temperature trace during cooling down of a sample taken from the bath. Supercooling is avoided by vibrating the sample. Accuracy and reproducibility of the sensor are discussed. Examples of measurements and series of measurements in point-feed and center-worked cells are given. Evolution of bath and liquidus temperature is shown, with respect to feed strategies. A major conclusion is that to get better information out of temperature measurements, samples taken, or liquidus measurements performed, it is necessary to relate it to timing of the feed strategy in use. Whether analyzing bath samples can be replaced by superheat measurements for cell control purposes will be determined by further experimentation.
