The team at High Temperature System Designs, LLC has 70 years of combined experience in designing conceptual molten salt systems, final design engineering, mitigation of risks from high temperature systems and supply chain development of critical components.
Dan Barth is Business Development Manager of High Temperature System Designs, LLC. He has over 40 years of designing, engineering and manufacturing of custom high temperature molten salt and molten sodium pumping systems for niche markets such as solar, nuclear power generation, industrial applications using high temperature fluids to heat or cool their processes and many applications to manufacture metal elements such as magnesium and titanium. He has worked and lectured at many National Labs and universities on high temperature applications and custom manufactured parts from high alloy and ceramics materials.
Dan has developed and manufactured specialized pumping equipment for high temperature and hazardous material applications. My understanding of designing and manufacturing of such critical equipment comes from working for and with such companies as Rheinhuette Punps, Nagle Pumps, Friatec Valves, Ensival-Moret Pumps, Sandia National Labs, Rocketdyne, Nexant Bechtel, Oakridge National Labs and many other research facilities and Universities.
He has designed, constructed and commissioned systems at Sandia National Labs, Shell Global Solutions research Facility in Houston, TX, Plataforma Solar de Almera in Spain, ENEA in Italy and many labs scales systems at our universities.
I have worked with Bertrams-Heatec in Switzerland on pump designs and have commissioned and rebuilt their heater systems for molten salt around the world. Bertrams has built hundreds of Industrial and solar plants are the world.
I have work with the three main companies that have done salt melting on an industrial scale supplying the pumps to Bertrams-Heatec, Herlogas and Durferrit.
William Nagle is Chief Technical Officer of High Temperature System Designs LLC. He has 24 years of experience designing and qualifying custom high temperature process equipment in the conventional, solar, and nuclear energy sectors. He specializes in fluid handling, conditioning, and instrumentation in extreme environments, and has managed engineering groups at universities and national energy labs. He has a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University, and a MBA from University of Chicago.
Danielle Barth is the Senior Research Analyst for High Temperature System Designs, LLC. Danielle started in August of 2015 writing reports and documenting lessons learned from molten salt projects conducted at universities and our National Labs.
She is a graduate from Indiana University with a BA in English, Technical and Professional Writing and a minor is literature. She has 10 years of experience in editing final manuscripts, fact checking within documents and preparing final documents for clients
We conducted independent HAZOP reviews of High Temperature Molten Salt Systems for Solar Power, Nuclear applications and advanced manufacturing of fertilizers. Mitigating the risk of such critical equipment will make your system bankable with the investors that will finance your project.
