VeFoCoFLoo (Versatile Forced Convection Fluoride Loop)

 

Enabling never–before–available testing of materials and components in reactic molten salt reactor environments.

The VeFoCoFLoo builds upon CA’s established commercial salt loops by adding heat exchangers that impose a 100°C temperature difference—which is necessary to drive corrosion. The modular design enables components such as heat exchangers to be removed after each experiment for testing and evaluation.

The default configuration consists of two heat exchangers—a salt–to–salt recuperator, and a salt–to–air chiller. The modular design of the loop can accommodate a variety of heat exchanger geometries and orientations, and the salt–to–gas.

Available Sensors
• Electrochemical
• Thermocouples at multiple locations
• Flow velocity
