Subsystems. The Receiver Subsystem consists of the receiver panel, cavity enclosure with one vertical aperture door, cold surge tank, booster pump, hot surge tank, overflow tank and control valves. The thermal storage tanks, a propane-fired salt heater, and cold salt pump are part of the Thermal Storage Subsystem which supplies molten salt to the Receiver Subsystem. The working fluid used by the Receiver and Thermal Storage Subsystems is a salt mixture of 60% NaN03 and 40% KN03. This fluid is heated using the reflected solar insolation that is concentrated on the receiver panel from the Collector Subsystem. Show Less
