Molten salt is beginning to play a larger role in modern power. In concentrated solar power (CSP) plants, the heat retention properties of molten salt (in a sodium nitrate/potassium nitrate mixture) make it an excellent medium for the transport and storage of solar heat for use in driving turbines. But it is in the more […]
Industrial seals for use with hydrogen fuel and syngas are undergoing rapid development, with significant innovation and advancements on the way. As these two clean-energy sources gain in importance and popularity, they will become more and more vital to both consumer and industrial applications. Before that can happen, though, more effective seals have to be […]
