ABSTRACT:
A system for generating energy by converting thermal energy into another form of energy by the exchange of water from great depth with surface water, said system comprising a floating installation having a downwardly directed cold water pipe as well as a number of thermal energy converting aggregates, said installation having the form of a pontoon, carrying a platform by means of columns, a number of box-shaped units containing the thermal energy converting aggregates being placed on top of the said pontoon, each unit having a channel with pump and heat exchanger, said channels having their inlets either in connection with the cold water supply or with the environmental water, the connection with the cold water being at the underside of the units and the connection with the environmental water at the upper side of the units, each channel having its outlet at the side of the pontoon. Said units each may have a warm water channel and a cold water channel or part of the units only contain cold water channels and another part only warm water channels.
