The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Purdue University to demonstrate robust heat exchangers (HEXs) for heat transfer between high-temperature fluids (such as Molten halides) and supercritical carbon dioxide (SCC02) as the working fluid for electrical energy conversation in the power block of concentrated solar power (CSP) systems.
