Abstract

Convective loop experiments are a valuable and relatively inexpensive method of assessing the effects of mass transport and a fully operational temperature gradient on molten salt materials compatibility. This report documents the design, construction, operation, and preliminary results of three molten draw salt corrosion loop experiments conducted at SLL. The loops were constructed from 304 SS, 316 SS, and Incoloy 800. This effort was undertaken to support the DOE program for Thermal Energy Storage for Solar Thermal Applications.
