An intermediate heat transfer system (IHTS) with a molten salt working medium is one of the proposed concepts of the future DEMO fusion power plant. Molten salts are currently used for concentrating solar power plants, heat accumulation and energy storage, and in some chemical processes. Moreover, there are proposed as a coolant and fuel carrier in the future Generation IV fission nuclear power plants. Despite its current use in some fields, many questions remain unanswered. To study them, technically, organizationally, and financially demanding experimental devices are required. In order to avoid this demandingness, the possible use of scaled-down experimental devices is studied. Such an experimental device working with thermal oil at lower temperatures with similar behavior to molten salts called SHAKER is being built in the laboratories of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Czech Technical University in Prague. The design of the afford mentioned scaled-down experimental device is presented in this paper.
