Cleaning chemicals depend on the same variables for a plate-and-frame heat exchanger, and cleaning compounds must be compatible with the metallurgy of the heat exchanger. In all cleaning processes, operators must use proper protective equipment, such as safety boots, safety gloves and eye protection, to avoid injury.

Thermal energy storage provides a workable solution to this challenge. In a concentrating solar power (CSP) system, the sun''s rays are reflected onto a receiver, which creates heat that is used to generate electricity that can be used immediately or stored for later use. This enables CSP systems to be flexible, or dispatchable, options for ...

Underground thermal energy storage (UTES) is a form of STES useful for long-term purposes owing to its high storage capacity and low cost (IEA I. E. A., 2018 ). UTES effectively stores the thermal energy of hot and cold seasons, solar energy, or waste heat of industrial processes for a relatively long time and seasonally ( Lee, 2012 ).
