ABSTRACT:
A halocline in a salt-water solar pond is protected against the effect of wind by dividing the upper portion of the pond into essentially separate cells or units that are segregated, but without hydraulically altering the operation of the pond. Specifically, a floating grid of expandable partitions is placed in the pond, so that an upper surface of each partition protrudes from the water, and the lower surface of each partition extends into the halocline, the liquid in the upper portion of each cell formed by the grid being essentially segregated. Provision is made for periodically expanding the partitions in order to flake off salt that precipitates on the partitions.
