ZOZEN Molten Salt Heater Applied in Large Steel Mill Projects

Project Overview

The project employs an innovative molten salt thermal storage system, combined with a gas power generation unit, to achieve efficient energy utilization and peak regulation. Molten salt thermal storage technology, with its characteristics of low viscosity, high stability, and high thermal storage density, has become the technology for large-scale, long-duration medium to high-temperature thermal storage. In this project, the molten salt heater not only improves the power generation efficiency of the gas power generation unit but also provides strong peak regulation support for the power system with a thermal storage duration of 6 hours and a thermal storage capacity of 79.5MWh.

ZOZEN RYQ Series Molten Salt Heater

In this project, the RYQ-10500KW molten salt heater provided by ZOZEN Boiler is key to the project's success. This molten salt heater, with a thermal output of 9 million calories per hour, provides strong thermal support for the project. It not only meets the project's demand for high-temperature heating processes but also significantly improves the overall system's energy efficiency through its high thermal conversion efficiency.

ZOZEN Boiler's RYQ series molten salt heaters meet the high-temperature heating process requirements of industries such as chemical, fertilizer, melamine, alumina, soda ash, and concentrated solar power generation. At the same time, their wide fuel adaptability, including natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and city gas, provides flexible energy solutions for the project.

Economic Benefits and Market Prospects

The introduction of ZOZEN's molten salt heater not only improves the project's energy efficiency but also brings significant environmental benefits. It is estimated that over the entire life cycle of the project, it can achieve carbon emission reductions of about 180,000 tons, collect short-term gas emissions of about 50 million m³, effectively reducing environmental pollution and improving the efficiency of gas utilization.

ZOZEN RYQ Series Molten Salt Heater with a Thermal Efficiency of Over 95%

Through the application of ZOZEN's molten salt heater, the project is expected to achieve peak regulation electricity of 8.2 million kWh annually, while consuming an equal amount of new energy electricity, reducing carbon emissions by 8,000 tons. This not only provides peak regulation capacity for the power grid but also brings economic benefits to the enterprise, increasing the enterprise's revenue by utilizing the difference in peak and valley electricity prices.

The fully automatic operation control and safety monitoring devices of ZOZEN's molten salt heater, achieve unattended operation and precise temperature control, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the system. At the same time, its advanced structural design and system configuration provide users with solutions to save investment and operating costs.

The successful commissioning of the gas power generation project demonstrates the strong potential of molten salt thermal storage technology in gas peak regulation and new energy consumption. As the core equipment of the project, ZOZEN's RYQ-10500KW molten salt heater not only improves energy efficiency but also promotes green and low-carbon development and the transformation of the energy structure. With the continuous development of new energy storage technologies, ZOZEN's molten salt heater is expected to become one of the key technologies in building a new type of energy system in the future, contributing to the sustainable development of the global energy field.
