Solar dynamic systems are being developed to provide electric power for the space station and future space missions. Thermal energy storage units are required to store excess energy during the sunlit portion of each orbit and to provide thermal energy input to the power conversion system during the eclipse portion of each orbit. Heat storage systems based on latent heat of transformation associated with the melting of a solid are of considerable interest in space power applications. In this paper, the results of liquid density measurements for a number of fluoride salt mixtures are reported and a comparison is made between the volumetric heat storage capacity of different salt mixtures. It should be emphasized that the work reported in this paper was undertaken primarily to obtain data on volumetric heat storage capacities for different salt mixtures and was not intended to be a complete study on the densities of fluoride salt mixtures.
