Trough IPH default temperatures are too cold for molten salt TES #1991

@tyneises

Description

@tyneises

In the 2024 release, we switched the trough IPH model from using pressurized water as the field working fluid and TES fluid to using an oil HTF in the field and molten salt TES (similar to the power generation trough). When we made this switch, we did not properly change the field temperatures to account for the much warmer freezer point of the molten salt.
