This work presents a numerical evaluation of the applicability non-invasive ultrasonic techniques for detecting solid inclusions in concentrated solar power (CSP) systems using molten salts. Under stagnant conditions, salts, such as NaNO3–KNO3 mixture, solidify when temperature drops below approximately 240 °C at ambient pressure. The study was conducted finite element method (FEM) simulations time domain to model wave propagation and interaction with solidified inclusions. Numerical analyses revealed that energy signals transmitted from source captured by receiver can be used quantify reflected scattered statistically determine their spatial distribution within piping. highlights potential occlusions through statistical analysis signals. Such an approach would enable decision making trigger heating strategies re-melt raising system’s temperature. contrasts traditional temperature-based control, which fails degree solidification may result frequent, energy-intensive whenever threshold. proposed ultrasonic-based detection thus offers more energy-efficient precise solution managing CSP salt
