Molten salt heat storage for 800C
Molten salt heat storage for 800C
(OP)
Can anyone recommend a molten salt for heat storage working temp of 800C, 1740F. Nothing too exotic or environmentally risky.
Also how to work out heat storage capacity.
Many thanks

I wonder how would contain a molten bath of NaCl at 800C? Would stainless steel do?
Thanks

If you want to design this you need to consider the min and max temps.
You don't really want it to solidify at the cold end. Turn to slush yes, but not solid.
Sodium Nitrate has been used in some solar/thermal sites. They build every thing out of 1.5% Cr steel tubing.
