Corrosion testing device for in-situ corrosion characterization in operational molten salts storage tanks: A516 Gr70 carbon steel performance under molten salts exposure
F. Javier Ruiz-Cabañas,Cristina Prieto,Rafael Osuna,Virginia Madina,A. Inés Fernández,Luisa F. Cabeza +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a corrosion testing device (CTD) was designed to evaluate corrosion behavior of structural materials inside high temperature nitrate salts storage tanks in operation, and A516 Gr70 carbon steel was evaluated at different exposures times by using the CTD in the TES-PS10 pilot plant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Materials selection for thermal energy storage systems in parabolic trough collector solar facilities using high chloride content nitrate salts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on A516 Gr70 carbon steel corrosion performance evaluation under high-chlorides content nitrates salts (1.2% and 3% by weight) at 400 °C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Materials selection of steam-phase change material (PCM) heat exchanger for thermal energy storage systems in direct steam generation facilities
F. Javier Ruiz-Cabañas,Aleix Jové,Cristina Prieto,Virginia Madina,A. Inés Fernández,Luisa F. Cabeza +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three metallic materials, A516 Gr70 carbon steel, A316L stainless steel and Inconel 625 Ni-base alloy, have been evaluated to determine their corrosion performance after hydroxides exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
TES-PS10 postmortem tests: Carbon steel corrosion performance exposed to molten salts under relevant operation conditions and lessons learnt for commercial scale-up
TL;DR: In this paper, postmortem tests were performed over components removed from the TES-PS10 pilot plant after almost four years of continuous operation being exposed to solar salts under representative commercial operation conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Steam-PCM heat exchanger design and materials optimization by using Cr-Mo alloys
F. Javier Ruiz-Cabañas,Cristina Prieto,Aleix Jové,Virginia Madina,A. Inés Fernández,Luisa F. Cabeza +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a steam-PCM heat exchanger was proposed in the thermal energy storage (TES) system of a direct steam generation (DSG) facility, and the corrosion damage was analyzed with visual inspection, optical microscopy, SEM, EDS and XRD, and corrosion rates were also calculated.
