Valve design for molten salt applications
EF 2022-23 · 2022-08-15
Résumé
Gosco Valves has been focusing on "Green Technologies", specifically in nuclear and solar energy production because the transfer medium is molten salt. The melting point of chloride/sulphide salts is almost 600C, so to operate efficiently the process temperatures need to be as high as 700C.
These temperatures are higher than 99% of the world’s valve manufacturers can handle, but also chloride and sulphide salts are extremely corrosive at these temperatures and any external leaks can be lethal. Gosco’s proprietary boriding technology can also be modified to boride the internal bore of pipes to enhance corrosion resistance and improve erosion resistance. Our goal is to build on our current technology to become the leader in this field

Description (French)
Gosco Valves se concentre sur les technologies vertes, notamment dans la production d'énergie nucléaire et solaire, car le milieu de transfert est le sel fondu. Le point de fusion des sels de chlorure/sulfure est de près de 600 °C, de sorte que pour fonctionner efficacement, les températures du processus doivent atteindre 700 °C. Ces températures sont supérieures à celles que 99 % des fabricants de vannes du monde peuvent tolérer, mais les sels de chlorure et de sulfure sont également extrêmement corrosifs à ces températures et toute fuite externe peut être mortelle. La technologie de boruration exclusive de Gosco peut également être modifiée pour borurer l'alésage interne des tuyaux afin de renforcer la résistance à la corrosion et à l'érosion. Notre objectif est de nous appuyer sur notre technologie actuelle pour devenir chef de file dans ce domaine.
