Method and system for testing and evaluating heat transfer elements at high temperature operations

摘要

The present invention describes a method and a system (200) for testing and evaluating heat transfer elements at high temperature operations has been described. The system (200) includes various components configured to: introduce a heat transfer fluid (HTF) and a secondary fluid into at least one heat exchanger, measure one or more thermodynamic parameter related to heat transfer between the HTF and the secondary fluid, determine at least one thermo-physical parameter of said HTF based on the measured thermodynamic parameter and finally, grade the HTF based on the determined thermo-physical parameter.
