As one of the world's top suppliers of fluid motion and control products and services, Fox produces engineering and industrial pumps, valves, seals, systems and automation equipment worldwide and provides a range of related fluid management services. As one of the earliest companies to participate in the design and equipment supply of pumps and valves for photothermal power generation projects, Foss has accumulated comprehensive and systematic knowledge in dealing with heat transfer fluids including thermal oil, molten salt, water, steam or air, as well as extreme operating conditions. Its products are challenging in trough, tower and molten salt thermal energy storage. Sexual CSP applications have durable functionality and reliable stability.
Focus and CSP Focus recently reached a partnership on the 8th CSP Focus China Focus Conference on Photothermal Power Generation, to be held in Beijing from March 22 to 23, to share on-site their leading integrated fluid solutions for photothermal power station valves and molten salt pumps.
In the photothermal power generation industry, whether the molten salt pump and valve products can achieve the minimum leakage, maintain normal operation under extreme temperature and pressure conditions, and have corrosion resistance and wear resistance is the key to ensure the long-term and stable operation of the photothermal power plant under harsh conditions.
Pump -- photothermal solar power generation
The molten salt pump is one of the most important equipments in the thermal island of photothermal power station with molten salt as heat storage medium or heat transfer medium. Because the molten salt pump needs to run in the temperature range of 220 to 550 degrees centigrade for a long time, the molten salt pump must be tested repeatedly before running to verify its performance, so as to avoid serious problems when put into use.

Foss VTP molten salt pump has excellent heat dissipation design, equipped with Foss dry gas seal system to specially deal with molten salt. Vibration values below API standards and low submergence depths allow the liquid level to drop to a lower position in the tank to generate more energy. In addition, FOSS is the only supplier in the world that has experience in tower top pump installation.

For the photothermal power station using molten salt as heat transfer medium, it is necessary to use a pump to extract molten salt and send it to a designated position. Especially for tower power plants using molten salt as heat transfer medium, the requirement of molten salt pump is higher because the height of collector tower is tens of meters or even 100 meters.

In addition to heat conduction oil pumps and molten salt pumps, Fox can also provide boiler hot water pumps, condensate delivery pumps, cooling water and some heat conduction oil auxiliary delivery pumps.

Valve -- photothermal solar power generation
In the field of molten salt valves, FOSS is also the world's leading supplier. Foss has a deep understanding of the adverse effects of thermal deformation and corrosion on valve equipment, so Foss uses advanced thermal validation technology and engineering product design to solve deformation and corrosion problems, improve process production and normal operation time. Foss professional valve products can be widely used as a solar power plant in a variety of heat transfer fluids in the harsh conditions, and equipped with a variety of options, including the bellows used to eliminate packing leakage seal, and eliminate cavitation and noise in the harsh operating conditions of the internals.

As early as the early 1980s, Fox products played an important role in the Solar One project in the Mojave Desert. Over the past thirty years, fox has always been a leader in product innovation, performance and reliability. As a leading supplier of 20MW Gemasolar molten salt tower in Spain, 110MW Crescent dune molten salt tower in America, 160MW Noor 1 trough in Morocco, 150MW Noor 3 molten salt tower in Morocco, 50MW Bokpoort trough in South Africa and 100MW Kaxu trough in South Africa, Foss has always played a leading role in the field of photothermal power generation fluid technology. The role of the leader.
Seize the opportunity -- Rio Tinto's solar thermal power market in China
China has better solar energy resources and is one of the world's major emerging markets for photothermal power generation. In recent years, the central and local governments have been increasing their support to the photothermal power generation industry, actively promoting the development and construction of photothermal power generation demonstration projects. Planning for the 13th Five-Year Plan period to add 5 GW photothermal power generation installed, of which the first batch of a total of 1.349 GW of 20 photothermal power generation demonstration projects are under way.
As a global leader in the field of photothermal power generation, Foss enjoys unparalleled extensive experience and competitive products. It has successfully won orders for 100 MW photothermal power generation project in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, and molten salt pump valve in 50 MW photothermal power generation project in Delingha, Qinghai Province. The above projects are officially issued by the State Energy Administration of China in 2016. The first batch of 20 demonstration projects of photothermal power generation. It is reported that Foss will provide VTP molten salt pump, high-performance molten salt control valve and switch valve for Dunhuang project, and VTP pump, control valve, gate valve and globe valve for Delingha project. The delivery date is expected to be 2018. The success of the two solar projects foreshadowed the beginning of FOSS in China and even in the Asia Pacific region.
