OSTI ID:5199743

The effort to establish the conceptual design of the Thermal Storage Subsystem Research Experiment (TS/SRE) is summarized. The TS/SRE consists of a thermal storage unit containing a salt phase change material, steam generator system, steam condensing system, instrumentation with associated controls, valves, piping and support equipment. The design basis, and overall experiment configuration is summarized. The conceptual design of each significant element of the test item is described. Experiment design tradeoff and analyses are discussed in some detail. The conceptual design of the tests for the experiment from objectives through test data analysis and utilization is summarized. An overview of the detail design and test phase is presented. The appendices contain the preliminary design and test specifications, summarize the Engineering Model Test Program results used in support of the conceptual design, record the significant detail design calculations, summarize material and system tradeoff studies.
