Usage
Liquid Sodium Chloride has the highest critical point and highest molar heat capacity of all liquids currently in-game, making it excellent for high-temperature heat storage. Becaue of its lower molar liquid density, Liquid sodium chloride has 0.8125x the heat capacity of Water within pipe networks. However, its greater liquid temperature range gives it the highest ingame heat energy storage per volume, with an energy storage density of ~9 MJ/L at 2500°C.
Its extremely low in-world liquid density (0.02215466833 mol/in-world L, 45.1372137513 in-world L/mol) and low evaporation pressure also make it an interesting candidate for low-power pumping systems. However, it decomposes into Pollutant on evaporation, losing considerable amounts of stored heat energy in the process. Care must be taken to avoid uncontrolled spills as small quantities can easily flood and overpressurize rooms, with only 177 mols (~7 L in pipes) being required to fill a world grid cell.
