ABSTRACT:
Laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate the high temperature (288 to 343 C (550 to 650 F)) thermal stability, material compatibility, and surface fouling of selected commercial heat transfer fluids for a sensible heat thermal energy storage system to be used with a solar thermal

electrical power generation plant. The tests have provided information on the rate of fluid replenishment required, the change of viscosity, the composition of lost products, and the rate of fouling of heat transfer surfaces as a function of temperature and time. Determinations have been made of the effect of the presence of materials likely to be used in the energy storage subsystem, (rocks, stainless steel, and carbon steel) on these properties. Show Less
