Study of Material Compatibility for a Thermal Energy Storage System with Phase Change Material

The suitability of stainless steel 316L and Inconel 625 for use in a latent heat thermal energy storage (TES) system was investigated. A NaCl–NaF eutectic mixture with a melting temperature of 680 °C was used as the phase change material (PCM). Containers were filled with the PCM prior to heating to...
