Claim 10:
11. The method of claim 8, wherein:
said system further comprises: a main HTF line in fluid communication between said main HTF pump and said cooling circuit of said first heat exchanger; a main HTF bypass loop having a first end in downstream fluid communication with said main HTF line, a second end in upstream fluid communication with said main HTF line, and a heat exchanger section therebetween; and a fan heater adapted and configured to blow ambient air upon said heat exchange section to warm a pumped flow of the main HTF before the pumped flow of the main HTF is cooled at said first heat exchanger; and
said method further comprises the step of warming at least a portion of the pumped stream of the main HTF in said heat exchanger section of said main HTF bypass loop by blowing ambient air upon said heat exchanger section with said fan heater.
