Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012143425A2] The invention discloses for the first time a possibility for operating solar thermal technology economically. The innovation presented here makes it possible to use a cheap heat transfer fluid (HTF) and to either completely spare or significantly reduce the energy-intensive auxiliary heating at night. For this purpose, a water tank is simply installed in the plant without a threat to the environment. By means of the water tank, the salt is thinned by adding water when the solar heating is not in operation.
