Alternate central receiver power system program. Phase II
Progress on the design of a 100 MWe sodium-cooled central receiver power plant is reported. This volume describes the materials experiments. The development project was performed to provide a technique/procedure for the furnace brazing of thin walled tubular Incoloy 800 absorber panels for sodium cooled solar central receiver plants, with an immediate objective of providing a tecnique for the brazing/fabrication of a test panel scheduled for solar testing at the Central Receiver Test Facility in Albuquerque, N.M. in late 1980 and early 1981. This development included selection of a brazing filler metal type, form and application procedure; determination of a joint design that would result in good brazability and mechanical properties; and the selection of an appropriate panel brazing procedure, atmosphere control, orientation and fixturing method in a brazing furnace. Over 100 test specimens were fabricated and brazed. The results of this work were demonstrated by the successful brazing of 122 cm (4 foot long), ten tube wide absorber panel segments. Procedures and results are detailed. (WHK)
