人们有强烈的动机去探索世界各地利用太阳能热能的可能性，特别是在气候温和的地区。本综述讨论了传热流体的现状，传热流体是聚光太阳能发电系统中存储和传输热能的关键部件之一。详细回顾了各种类型的传热流体，包括空气、水/蒸汽、导热油、有机流体、熔盐和液态金属，特别是关于熔化温度、热稳定性极限和腐蚀问题。不锈钢和镍基合金是传热流体的典型管道和容器材料。不锈钢和合金在与传热流体接触时的稳定性对于聚光太阳能发电系统的使用寿命非常重要。从腐蚀速率的角度讨论了不锈钢和镍基合金在不同传热流体中的腐蚀特性。
There is a strong motivation to explore the possibility of harnessing solar thermal energy around the world, especially in locations with temperate weather. This review discusses the current status of heat transfer fluid, which is one of the critical components for storing and transferring thermal energy in concentrating solar power systems. Various types of heat transfer fluids including air, water/steam, thermal oils, organic fluids, molten-salts and liquid metals are reviewed in detail, particularly regarding the melting temperature, thermal stability limit and corrosion issues. Stainless steels and nickel based alloys are the typical piping and container materials for heat transfer fluids. Stability of the stainless steels and alloys while in contact with heat transfer fluids is very important for the longevity of concentrating solar power systems. Corrosion properties of stainless steels and nickel based alloys in different heat transfer fluids are discussed in terms of corrosion rates.
