collect $170,000 gallons of condesation a day
SCHEME
The scheme envisages bringing cold sea water at 4.50C (400F) from about 500 m (1600 ft) depth in four, 1.22 m (4 ft) diameter plastic pipes to the shore. It then passes through a heat exchanger field (area of 1.29 X 105 m2), where it condenses about 643 m3 (170,000 gallons) of dew over the period of 24 hours. The pumping of sea water from the sea and through the heat exchanger is accomplished by three, 200 kW wind machines. After passing through the heat exchanger, the sea water goes through a series of ponds where algae and fish are grown. It then returns to the ocean..
