The molten salt used for thermal storage in solar farms is associated with high density and rapid wave speeds.
The molten salt used for thermal storage in solar farms is associated with high density and rapid wave speeds. These characteristics can result in catastrophic pressure surges if the shut-off valves close too quickly. Accordingly, CFD simulation is critical to the design process.
This white paper discusses a 1D CFD simulation to determine safe valve shut-off speeds.
With the help of this simulation, the designers discovered safety procedures and selected a valve shut-off motor during the early design phase.
