Zusammenfassung:An improved energy storage superheater assembly for storing heat energy resulting from solar or other types of energy. An enclosed housing includes a heat transfer means in the bottom or top which is heated by SO2+O2 due to solar chemical reaction or any other suitable means. The heat transfer means heats wet steam in a superheater piping that passes through the heat transfer means to produce superheated steam. A plurality of vertical, potassium-containing steel wall heat pipes extends from the heat transfer means and distributes heat over the large area of the housing. Vertical containers which contain a salt are assembled among the vertical pipes and are heated by the heat radiated and convected from the vertical pipes in order to store heat in the salt-containers by "heat of fusion". During heat withdrawal, heat is radiated and convected from the salt-containers to the vertical steel pipes. Heat is carried to the heat transfer means by the steel pipes which in turn heats the superheater tubes.
