*Concentrated Solar Power or CSP that uses a Liquid Metal (instead of water or salt) as the Heat Transfer Fluid<br />
*Offers some dissadvantages/challenges as well as some advantages<br />
<br />
=Dissadvantages/Challenges=<br />
*Maitnance Issues<br />
*Difficulty in dealing with higher temperatures (Increased Corrosion and/or structual failure under heat)<br />
*Difficulty in obtaining some metals<br />
<br />
=Advantages=<br />
*Higher Heat Ceiling due to the boiling point of metals being much higher<br />
*Higher Heat Conductivity of Heat Transfer Fluid<br />
<br />
=Ways to Deal With Dissadvantages/Challenges=<br />
*Use Ceramic and/or High Temp + Corrosion Resistant Metal Materials<br />
*Modularity + Redundancy to allow easy maintenence + repair<br />
*Possibly an auxillary heat source to act as a sort of "Defrost" if areas get clogged (This is just a guess/ponder)<br />
<br />
=Ways to Utilize Advantages=<br />
*Run **HOT** (1000°C +)<br />
