Molten salt solutions

Our solutions use molten salt to transfer heat for industrial processes or store heat sensibly to match supply and demand of energy.

Molten salt for heat transfer

The low melting point of ternary molten salts make it useful for providing process heat between 150 and 500 degrees Celsius. Alternative heat transfer sources (such as thermal oil or steam) only work until 350 degrees or require pressurized equipment. Pressurized equipment causes a safety risk inside industrial environments and greatly increases the costs of the system.

Molten salt can provide process heat up to 500 degrees at atmospheric pressure. Brabetech has developed a patented technology allowing us to easily deal with solidification. These characteristics making molten salt a good alternative to standard heat transfer technologies such as steam or thermal oil. Our designs can electrify your heat transfer process but can also be used with conventional heat generation methods.

Non pressurized system reduces investment and safety hazard
No issues with solidification because of patented design
Alternative to thermal oil or steam for high temperature heat transfer

Molten salt for heat storage

The large range of operation temperature and the fact that molten salt does not lose heat quickly, make molten salt a good sensible heat storage medium.

Molten salt stands out as an excellent choice for heat storage due to several key characteristics. Its high specific heat capacity allows it to store substantial thermal energy, while its high thermal conductivity ensures efficient heat transfer. The wide operating range and exceptional thermal stability of molten salt enable it to perform reliably across a range of temperatures without degrading. Additionally, its environmental safety, being non-toxic and low-impact, makes it an ideal choice for sustainable energy storage applications. These properties collectively make molten salt a versatile and effective medium for heat storage. Brabetech designs systems that are built modular meaning they can easily be adjusted to your specific needs.

Molten salt has been demonstrated for this purpose in combination with concentrated solar power installations worldwide. The lower melting point of ternary molten salts make the case for storage possible at a smaller scale such as individual industrial processes. Molten salt thermal storage solutions are used to store peaks in energy generation, recover waste heat or buffer heat in connection to the electricity grid.
