Hey folks,
I am a first time user on this site. I need help finding solar insulated tanks which are used to store hypo salts for thermal storage. These tanks were designed in the 1970s to store heat from solar. I cannot seem to find any companies doing these tanks anymore. They store 4 times more heat than water due to the latent heat of fusion.
Best regards,
Kev
