Process engineering and qualification of liquid salt components

Test track for liquid salt components (TESIS:com)

Research and development

• Questions on the process engineering of liquid salt circuits (salt solidification and overheating, dynamic operation, gas handling, heat transfer)
• Improving the reliability and accuracy of measurement technology (e. g. level, flow rate, temperature, pressure)
• Qualification of liquid salt components under real operating conditions (e. g. valves, seals, absorber pipes, heat exchangers, electric heaters)

Methods and infrastructure

• Pilot plant TESIS:com for process engineering, metrology and liquid salt components
• Pilot plant for the development of liquid salt process technology up to 700 ° C
• Dynamic simulation of salt circuits
