Ensuring that the top layer of hot salt is always available for power production requires keeping the returning cold salt in its place—at the bottom of. .
To test the CSPonD concept at larger scale, the MIT researchers have started work with colleagues at the Masdar Institute who operate a major experimental “beam-down facility” that includes 33 heliostats and a 66-foot. .
As an initial test of their concept, the researchers simulated the performance of a CSPonD system that included a tank that’s 5 meters deep, 25 meters in diameter, and filled with 4,500 tons (2,500 cubic meters) of molten. [pdf]
