The invention discloses a preheating method for a
molten salt tank of a thermal storage
system of a photothermal
power station. The preheating method comprises the steps that a
molten salt tank preheating
system is arranged, preheating temperature rise is carried out,
temperature difference control is carried out, and preheating safety protection is carried out; a
pipe port is reserved at the topof the
molten salt tank, and a gas furnace is connected in through a temporary pipeline; the bottom of a
chimney is sealed, a hole is formed in the lower end of the
chimney, and the
chimney is inserted into the bottom of the molten salt tank from the top of the molten salt tank or the interior of the reserved hole;
exhaust gas of the gas furnace is collected into high-speed
airflow to enter the molten salt tank and rotationally flows from top to bottom along the tank wall slowly, so that an aerodynamic field in the tank is disturbed, and the purpose of controlling the preheating
temperature difference is achieved; preheating temperature rise control is regulated by a PLC of the gas furnace; and the PLC of the gas furnace and DCS are bridged, the molten salt tank is safely and reliably preheated to the salt injection temperature within a short time, and the safety of the preheating process is ensured.
