High Temperature Ternary Chloride Molten Salt Pump

Abstract: A ternary chloride (MgCl2-NaCl-KCl) molten salt pump has been developed to operate up to 720°C. The design is the result of a thermal, structural and material study of critical components. The vertical overhung pump incorporates first of a kind salt-wetted hydrodynamic bearings. Several bearing material pairings were tested which include: colmonoy grades, stellite grades, and a novel NiWC-based alloy (i.e. HybrimetTM NiWC3b) used as a High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) coating. The coating withstands the corrosion effects of the molten salt, and is also used to protect a 316L stainless steel pump reservoir. The pump bowl assembly components are made of Inconel 625. A Nitrogen flushed carbon ring seal is used to keep salt vapors from interacting with external ambient air. Preliminary testing shows a promising pump design for use in the Concentrating Solar Power Gen 3 systems and sets the ground for further development of the HybrimetTM NiWC3b as a competitive alternative to available .... https://www.tib-op.org/ojs/index.php/solarpaces/article/view/879
