Instalación de almacenamiento térmico por medio de sales

Instalación de almacenamiento térmico por calor sensible que comprende una pluralidad de tanques acoplados a una porción superior de un bancada, y una pluralidad de tanques acoplados a una porción inferior de éste, de tal forma que el trasiego de sales fundidas desde los tanques superiores a los tanques inferiores ocurre por gravedad a través de un evaporador vertical dispuesto en una porción intermedia entre éstos, preferiblemente un evaporador de un solo paso con un serpentín helicoidal interior por el cual circula agua/vapor calentado por las sales fundidas que, a su vez, caen por la carcasa de dicho evaporador. Installation (1) for thermal storage by means of salts, comprising a bench (2) that supports a plurality of upper tanks (3) for storage of hot salts and a plurality of lower tanks (7) for storage of cold salts , being said installation (1) characterized in that the upper tanks (3) are arranged horizontally in an upper portion (4) of the bench (2), the inner tanks (7) are arranged horizontally on a lower portion (5) of the bench (2), and because it also includes pumping elements configured to pump and transfer salts from at least one lower tank (7) to at least one upper tank (3),a heat input means configured to heat the salts during transfer from the lower tanks (7) to the upper tanks (3), and a heat exchanger (6) in fluid communication with at least one upper tank (3) and with at least one lower tank (7), where said heat exchanger (6) is of a single pass and includes an internal coil (8), and is configured to transport the molten salts by gravity from the upper tank (3) to the lower tank (7) outside the indoor coil (8).and it is configured to transport the molten salts by gravity from the upper tank (3) to the lower tank (7) outside the indoor coil (8).and it is configured to transport the molten salts by gravity from the upper tank (3) to the lower tank (7) outside the indoor coil (8).
