Abstract
Consideration was given to the drawbacks of power stations that work using the temperature difference of the ocean water. The power plant with the hydrosteam turbine that eliminates these drawbacks has been proposed. Thermodynamic cycles with the hydrosteam and steam turbines were analyzed. It has been shown that the proposed power plant is 2.4 times more efficient in comparison with the known Claude-Buchero plant. There is nothing strange, because the greatest portion of heat supplied together with the surface water to the evaporator of the known plant is discharged unused back to the ocean. To reduce hot and cold water flow pipeline resistance it was suggested to add to the flows the polymers that are obtained on the basis of gases released under vacuum from the sea water. The expediency of the use of hydrosteam turbines using the low potential heat of condensation electric power stations has been shown. The calculations showed that the equatorial zone of the ocean with the area of 5 mln.km2 can produce more than 7 TW of the energy. It is reasonable to arrange on oceanic stations the energy-intensive production of alloys, protein and chemical products.
