| Abstract Scope |
A testing apparatus was designed and built to aid the analysis of articulates filtered from molten fluoride salt and to test the properties of filter media in typical operating conditions. The testing unit was designed to flow salt through nickel 200 and 316 stainless steel filter media with varying pore size and thickness at temperatures up to 725 °C. Data was obtained to characterize the flow rate and pressure drop across the filters, and to analyze the particulates trapped on the filter media. Design parameters of the testing setup and preliminary results of testing will be presented. |
