Prediction of Yearly Fluid Replenishment Rates for Hydrocarbon Fluids in Thermal Energy Storage Systems.

摘要

Economic analysis of any thermal energy storage system using hydrocarbon fluids at or near their operating limit hinges on accurate determinations of fluid losses due to thermal and environmental effects. Representative values for these fluid losses in an operating thermal storage system for three different hydrocarbon fluids,Sun 21, Caloria HT43,and Therminol 66are presented. (ERA citation 04:036549)
