A Practical Perspective on Concentrated Solar Power Applications

Zhengyuan Valve Group Co., Ltd., based in Wenzhou’s Longwan District, is expanding its valve solutions to serve the growing concentrated solar power (CSP) sector . CSP plants, which utilize molten salt thermal storage systems, require valves capable of withstanding high temperatures up to 600°C and corrosive molten salt environments over long service periods . Zhengyuan offers a comprehensive material selection strategy for CSP applications: high-temperature alloy steel valves (WC6, WC9 grades) for molten salt piping and heat exchangers, and duplex stainless steel valves for chloride-containing salt storage conditions . The company’s valve products feature hardfaced sealing surfaces using cemented carbide materials to enhance wear and corrosion resistance in high-temperature media . With pressure ratings from 0.1MPa to 42MPa and temperature capabilities from -196°C to 730°C, Zhengyuan supports diverse CSP system requirements . Through rigorous material selection and manufacturing quality control, Zhengyuan Valve Group maintains its focus on delivering reliable valve solutions for emerging clean energy infrastructure.
