[Gasification] Glaubers Salts for Thermal Storage

[Greg Manning]

 Correct me if I'm wrong, but we use this as "tractor salts" for rear tires,
it can't freeze, and is as dense as rock by itself.

 "Calcium & Water"

Can someone respond to an inquiry about Glauber's slats for thermal storage?
I received the following today:



"We are getting ready to install thermal storage to augment our gasifying
wood boiler and solar hot water systems, and I was wondering if you could
give me a thumbnail sketch of the viability for Glauber's salt as opposed to
water.  Any special considerations that you are aware of?  Can you point me
to any successful residential applications that you know of?  Thanks a lot
for you help. "



The application is in the interior of Alaska.



Regards,



Tom Miles
