11 Apr Schultz Canada Contributes….
Contribution of Schultz Chemicals to the CSP Focus China 2015 Solar Thermal Electricity & Industrial Application Conference
The CSP Focus China 2015 Solar Thermal Electricity & Industrial Application Conference was held in Beijing on March 30–31, 2015. The conference attracted many leading companies from China and around the world, including China’s domestic project developer CGNPC Solar Energy and overseas well-known enterprises such as Bright Source Energy Inc., SolarReserve, ACS Cobra of Spain, Abengoa Solar, Aries, GDF SUEZ of France, GDF SUEZ of the Middle East, Ample Solar Company of South Africa and Empyreal Energy of India. The participants shared their experiences in the industry, including the planning and development processes, starting from pre-development and equipment purchasing, through project establishment and post-maintenance. As a manufacturer of synthetic heat transfer fluid utilizing world-leading technology, Schultz Chemical Co., Ltd. participated in this conference on invitation, communicating with speakers and guests and establishing new paths for future cooperation.
Heat transfer fluid is used as a heat-transfer and heat-storage medium during solar thermal power generation. There are extremely stringent requirements for the performance of the heat transfer fluids such as maintaining stable characteristics over long operating periods within a temperature range of 300–400°C, as well as ensuring that the heat transfer fluid will remain unchanged over the 25-year lifetime of the solar-thermal power station. As the operating temperature can reach 400°C, only Biphenyl / Diphenyl Oxide heat transfer fluids can be applied. It is a eutectic and azeotropic mixture with excellent thermal resistance because of lack of alkyl side-chain connection on the benzene ring. Its carbon deposition tendency is small and it has a long operating life. It is particularly suited to solar-thermal power applications because of its excellent heat stability and high operating temperature.
Schulz Chemical is one of the top global heat transfer fluid manufacturers that utilizes leading-edge technology to meet the increasing demand for heat transfer fluids in the solar-thermal industry. uses high-quality raw materials and adopts the international advanced production technology on a high-starting-point and strict-requirement basis to create a special heat transfer fluid – SCHULTZS740 (Biphenyl / Diphenyl Oxide) for the solar-thermal industry. The purity of SCHULTZ® S740 is up to 99.99% and its sulphur and nitrogen content achieves an international leading value, 5 ppm, which is far lower than the 10-ppm standard of similar products.
SCHULTZ® S740 has become the ideal heat transfer fluid of the solar-thermal industry by virtue of its extraordinary thermal resistance of 400°C, extremely long operating life and excellent flowability. It will establish and provide a long-term solution to the global concentrated solar energy industry, backed by professional knowledge and practical experience.
