Maximising power production in the solar market

Updates

Globaltherm has added the Omnistore MS-550 to its heat transfer products in response to industry calls for products for higher temperatures. The Omnistore MS-550 is a molten salt heat transfer media that operates at temperatures ranging from 150 to 550°C. Specifically designed for concentrated solar plants (CSP), PET and plastics production and chemical industries, it is suitable for applications where conventional heat transfer methods are not sufficient.

Once in a liquid state, Omnistore MS-550 is said to feature excellent thermo-physical properties, including low viscosity, high heat capacity and high thermal conductivity. Omnistore MS-550 is used in both heat transfer and thermal storage to maximise power production. The product is also miscible and interchangeable with other similar mix thermal products.

As a non-toxic, non-flammable product, Omnistore MS-550 is said to minimise safety hazards and the need for high pressure equipment.
