Is solar salt a heat storage material?
It is relevant for the field of energy storage, more precisely for sensible heat storage with nitrate salt melts as heat storage material and heat transfer fluid (HTF). The investigated material Solar Salt is a mixture of sodium nitrate (NaNO3, 60 wt.%) and potassium nitrate (KNO3, 40 wt.%).
What is molten nitrate salt?
Sensible heat storage in molten nitrate salts is a key technology when it comes to thermal energy storage in combination with concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. Currently, a mixture of sodium and potassium nitrate called Solar Salt is used at temperatures between 280 and 560 °C.
Can nitrate salts be used for energy storage?
As a library, NLM provides access to scientific literature. Inclusion in an NLM database does not imply endorsement of, or agreement with, the contents by NLM or the National Institutes of Health. This study presents the energy storage potential of nitrate salts for specific applications in energy systems that use renewable resources.
