In this
paper, two binary salts, NaNO3 – LiNO3 (46% – 54%) and NaNO3
– LiNO3 (40% – 60%), were investigated to assess their suitability
for medium temperature heat storage. The thermal properties and long term
stability under multiple cycles of each binary salt pair were investigated
using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The chemical stability at
elevated temperatures was tested using a Thermogravimetric Analyser (TGA). Both
binary salts analysed have suitable melting temperatures (just under 200 °C)
with relatively high latent heat values (>220 kJ/kg), both exhibiting good
thermal and chemical stability.
