Abstract：

In　order　to　study　the　temperature　distribution　and　heat　loss　mechanism　of　molten　salt　heat　storage　tank,　experiments　of　heating,　internal　cycle　and　natural　cooling　were　conducted　by　using　the　molten　salt　storage　tank　in　the　solar　trough　heat　collecting　and　transfer　experimental　system　with　low　melting　point　molten　salt　developed　by　the　laboratory.　Molten　salt　temperature　distributions　in　the　heating　and　cooling　process　were　obtained　and　the　curves　of　heat　loss　with　time　and　temperature　were　correlated.　The　results　indicated　that　in　heating　process,　obvious　temperature　stratification　were　observed　in　the　molten　salts　tank　below　heater,　but　for　natural　cooling,　no　obvious　temperature　stratification　were　observed.　©　All　Rights　Reserved.
