Inventor(s) include Ganapati Dadasaheb Yadav; Venus Mohan Chaudhary; Swanand Raghunath Patange; Ashwini Bhagavan Nirukhe; Damaraju Parvatalu; Uthandi Kamachi Mudali; Sunil Kumar; Jitendra Singh Rathore; and Rajesh Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention provides a novel laboratory system and a method for optimizing and simulating thermochemical reactor operating parameters to determine corrosion of material used in construction of said plant in presence of molten salt media. The optimizing and simulating the actual parameters of the thermochemical reactor in the laboratory instrument/system can significantly play an important role in determination of actual corrosion of material used in the construction of the reactor. These crucial parameters are composition of molten salt, high temperature heating and cooling cycle, moisture content, inert atmosphere and reactive gases etc. Hence, the present invention provides a comprehensive and versatile testing laboratory system (300) for optimizing and simulating thermochemical reactor operating parameters to determine corrosion of materials in molten salt media, the system (300) comprising test assembly (400), transfer assembly (500), a transfer line (600) connecting test assembly (400) and transfer assembly (500);Characterized in that the molten salt media transfer from test assembly to transfer assembly via transfer line and vice-versa in time interval with the help of vacuum and pressure. The results obtained from present invention system enables accurate comparisons and informed decision-making in material selection for building reactors to ensure its long-lasting working life in the field of sustainable and economic renewable energy generation."
