Parabolic trough of the molten salt system

    Parabolic mirrors which track the sun and concentrate the solar energy onto receiver tubes placed in the trough’s focal line. Heat transfer fluid is also used in this type of technology.

    Both processes can include a molten salt storage system. Vertical molten salt pumps would be required for this storage system. Superheated feed-water, condensate and cooling water pumps are also required for the second part of the concentrated solar thermal plant.
