Solar thermal electric plants - Part 1-6: Silicone-based heat transfer fluids for use in line-focus concentrated solar power applications IEC 62862-1-6:2024 ED1

Publication date:   May 8, 2024

Scope

IEC 628621-6:2024 specifies the technical requirements (safety and physical parameters), test methods, inspection rules and intervals, sampling, judgment, marking, labelling and accompanying documents, packaging, transportation and storage, recycling and disposal of silicone-based heat transfer fluids (SiHTF) for use in line-focusing solar thermal power plants.
The application of polydimethylsiloxane-based heat transfer fluids for this type of installation is covered in this document. Owing to their chemical nature and composition, the introduction of new test methods to determine the applicability and the thermal stability of SiHTF is included in this document.
