Aalborg CSP A / S and Alfa Laval AB have signed an agreement , where Alfa Laval takes part ownership in Aalborg CSP ’ s header-coil heat exchanger business for high temperature energy storage to electricity and industrial high temperature steam . With the investment , the parties form a strong joint venture to cooperate in fulfilling the future demand for specialized heat exchangers for , among other things , molten salt energy storage systems as well as for Concentrated Solar Power ( CSP ) and other applications . The heat exchanger joint venture will operate under the name “ Alfa Laval Aalborg Header-coil A / S ”. The collaboration aims to address the increasing global need for reliable heat exchangers and salt systems for long duration energy |
storage applications thereby enhancing competences , product development , and application knowledge in the header-coil heat exchanger technology . The purpose of the joint venture is , likewise , to drive the advancement of , among other things , steam generation systems , molten salt heat exchangers , PTX-salt systems , Carnot batteries for thermalelectrical storage , and power blocks for the next generation of long duration energy storage ultimately enabling a future 100 % renewable energy system . Aalborg CSP ’ s header-coil heat exchangers are extremely reliable with no leakages and can withstand cyclical load patterns , which is the daily operation pattern of both CSP and energy storage plants . |
