The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Hayward Tyler, Inc. to design and develop a submerged bearing type and associated materials for recommended use in next generation Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems. In order to validate these components, molten salt pump and bearing “test rigs” would be designed and assembled in collaboration with Oakridge National Laboratory (ORNL), a partner for the proposed project that would provide technological expertise as well as the facilities for hosting and operating the test rigs.
