Is it the same as the sodium filled exhaust valve stems?

Is it molten salt or liquid sodium? Big difference, especially if
there's any chance of exposure to water.

Spooling up a stationary steam turbine if kept in the standby mode only takes a
few hours at most, and a lot of that is based on how much load you’re going to
expect out of it once it comes online. That is, they could easily maintain the
The boiling point of sodium is more than 1600F so the energy stored in the
liquid sodium would be enough to keep boiling water to make steam for a
substantial period even after the sun went down.I would assume (dangerous of
course) that the production of steam would be a 24 hour deal with the
Since the system is designed to focus sun energy into a solar furnace, the
boiler portion of the system "should" be setting at operational
temperature. [except on cloud cover days, of course].
Since sunset is a known event, safe presumption would be that prior to
sunset, the steam pressure would
Well a 1200lb steam plant on a US Navy ship required about 24 hours to be
brought online from stone cold, but that can be significantly shortened if you
don't let it get stone cold. I would imagine that they would figure a way to
keep the steam side hot enough so very little time, like 30

Yeah those molten salts can hold a tremendous amount of heat in the heat
of fusion but they are also quite corrosive, so there's that too.
I have to remember those laws...
1. You can't win
{\displaystyle \Delta U_{\rm {system}}=Q-W}
2. You can't break even
\delta Q=T\,dS\,.
3. You can't

And how long does it take to fire up and shut
Correct. The premise is the liquid sodium [salt solution] is heated to a
very high temperature and stored in a thermal container which holds the
heat until release. During the heating day, the solution is circulated
from the heating grid [sun collection device] to the container in
continuous loop

How do they make electricity from the stored heat??? Sounds complex to me.
