The invention discloses a
storage tank for large-scale fused salt
energy storage, and relates to the technical field of fused salt
energy storage. In order to solve the problems that according to an existing fused salt
storage tank, due to the fact that the
freezing point temperature of fused salt is high, when the fused salt heat storage double tanks operate, the liquid level can change vertically, and the lowest liquid level is close to the bottom of the tank body, a pump shaft of a fused salt pump needs to be long and extends below the liquid level, and due to the fact that the pump shaft cannot be made to be too long, the tank body is limited to be too high. The technology that hot salt with
low density is located on the upper portion, cold salt with
high density is located on the lower portion, and a
temperature gradient layer, namely a
thermocline layer is arranged in the middle is adopted, through a salt
distributor and a pipeline
system, during heat storage, hot salt passes through a hot salt pipeline
system and enters a tank body through a hot flat plate type salt
distributor, cold salt is pumped out of the tank body through a cold salt pump, and the
thermocline layer gradually moves downwards; the heat storage process is finished; during heat release, hot salt is pumped out of the tank body through a hot salt pump, cold salt enters the tank body from the cold flat plate type salt
distributor through a cold salt pipeline
system, and the
thermocline gradually moves upwards. The method is suitable for the technical field of high-temperature fused salt
energy storage.
