Abstract

In this paper several kinds of high temperature molten salts were investigated experimentally on viscosity-temperature characteristics with high-temperature viscometer. The viscosities of the molten salts were measured and compared with those from references to verify the reliability of the viscometer and measuring methods, and a good agreement was observed from the comparisons. Then, two new high-temperature molten salts were made from the HITEC salt by some additives and the viscosity-temperature profiles of them were obtained by experiments. The results show that the new molten salts have much lower viscosities, thus suitable for reducing the flow resistance in transportation system of high-temperature solar thermal power generation.
