In the Kailua-Kona experimental circuit in the United States, 13 white plastic pipes are used to inject upper seawater that has absorbed solar heat into a container at very low pressure. Warm seawater immediately boils here, producing a lot of steam. Use this steam to drive a turbogenerator to produce electricity.
The spent steam is sent into the pipeline, cooled by cold seawater pumped from a depth of 800 meters and solidified into desalinated water.
The advantages of using this method to generate electricity are: it is not affected by changes in tides and waves, does not consume any fuel and does not pollute the environment. 'environment. Not only can it produce electricity, but it. can also produce a large amount of sweet taste of desalinated seawater every day.
Another way to use the temperature difference de seawater to generate electricity involves using warm seawater heated by the sun to turn pressurized liquid ammonia into steam, and using that steam to drive a turbine generator. The ammonia vapor is then cooled with cold water from the deep sea and transformed into a liquid for recycling.
