Silicone oil solar power generation

Why do solar power systems use silicone based heat transfer fluids?

The raising of the maximum using temperature means that it can obtain higher temperature steam in the heat transfer process of the system, and the power generation efficiency of the turbine will be improved remarkably if the silicone-based heat transfer fluids are used in parabolic through the solar power system.

Is helisol a good eutectic fluid for solar thermal parabolic power plants?

In this paper, a new silicone based HTF (HELISOL® from Wacker Chemie AG) is investigated experimentally and economically in comparison to the eutectic mixture of biphenyl and diphenyl oxide which is currently the most important fluid for the heat transfer in solar thermal parabolic power plants.

Is silicone a good heat transfer medium?

It can also increase the efficiency of a solar thermal power plant, so silicone-based heat transfer fluids will be the new type of heat transfer medium. The paper compares these two mediums in terms of structure, composition, and deterioration and introduces the using performance and synthesis method of Silicone.

Can silicone based HTF be used in solar thermal parabolic power plants?

In this paper, a new silicone based HTF (HELISOL ® from Wacker Chemie AG) is investigated experimentally and economically in comparison to the eutectic mixture of biphenyl and diphenyl oxide which is currently the most important fluid for the heat transfer in solar thermal parabolic power plants.

What is silicone based heat transfer fluid?

Rong Si1, Dong Jing1, Feng Liu1, Dexin Kong1, Xiaodi Liu1 and Jialin Lu2 The main component of Silicone-based heat transfer fluids is modified silicone oil. The high and low using temperature of silicone-based heat transfer fluids is better than hydrocarbon organic heat transfer fluids.
