Ceramic Packing for High-Temperature Storage

One way to reduce the cost of thermal storage is large proportions of the

Replacing high-temperature media with cheaper packing. In such a system, thermal energy is released from the fluid (e.g. thermal oil or molten salt) to the packing during the loading of the storage tank and is absorbed again during the discharge.

Areas of application are both industrial processes and solar thermal power plants.
