PROMETEO test facility
A burst pipe was simulated as part of a field trial conducted by WACKER Group, DLR and CIEMAT (Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas). The leakage, simulated using a very fast opening valve, caused the 420 degree Celsius hot thermal carrier oil to escape without igniting.
