Abstract

This part of EN 746 gives the specific hazards and safety requirements for the melting and use of molten salt that shall be provided by the manufacturer for Salt Bath Industrial Thermoprocessing Equipment, whether it is used as an independent unit or an integrated part of a plant. The limits of the equipment will include any transportation equipment which is located wholly or partially in the bath. This part of EN 746 does not cover the handling, storage, transport, disposal, transfer or regeneration of the salts and processed material outside the limits of the equipment. This part of EN 746 applies not only to the normal operation of the equipment but also to the safety of personnel and property when foreseeable faults occur. Examples of salt bath furnace set-ups are shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. NOTE: There are many variations in the design of salt bath equipment. Only three examples of the various types are given in this text.
