Ceramic pump moves molten metal at a record 1,400 ?C; new avenues for energy storage and hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

A ceramic-based mechanical pump able to operate at record temperatures of more than 1,400 ˚C (1,673 K) can transfer high-temperature liquids such as molten tin, enabling a new generation of energy conversion and storage systems. The pump operates in a nitrogen environment to prevent oxidation at the extreme temperatures.
