During the high-irradiation phase, the qualified high-temperature molten salt is introduced into the high-temperature molten salt tank. Simultaneously, the medium-temperature molten salt in the buffer tank is mixed with the low-temperature molten salt from the low-temperature molten salt tank according to a calculated ratio, and after temperature adjustment, it is pumped back into the collector field for secondary heating to reach the qualified high-temperature molten salt. This ensures that high-quality superheated steam is provided to the turbine during peak irradiation periods, ultimately improving the annual power generation of the power plant, especially the unit's operating rate and output level in winter.
