Molten Salt HT

Molten Salt HT

Product code: RXSOL-68-1436-050

Salt inhibited with the corrosion inhibitor resulting corrosion protection, as well as efficient heat transfer.

Molten Salts have been used as medium of heat transfer since many years in the Chemical, Metal refining, Glass, Nuclear and Solar Energy sectors. Molten Salts HT are usually a eutectic mixture of potassium nitrate, Sodium Nitrate and Sodium Nitrite,based salts. A eutectic mixture is a mixture of components which usually do not interact to form a new chemical compound but, which at certain ratios, form a system having a lower melting point than that of either of the components.

Application

The range of application of RXSOL Molten Salts HT in heat transfer technology ranges from 200°C up to 850°C depending up on the constituents of the eutectic mixture. For applications requiring a heat transfer fluid temperature above 350°C Molten Salt HT is the preferred medium. Water has been found to be uneconomical above 200°C due to high pressure while organic and synthetic oils start degrading above 350°C. These organic or synthetic oils also pose the problem of carbon formation and high vapor pressure, both of which are absent in the case of Molten Salts HT.
