MARINE ENERGY COMPLEX Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC F03G7/05 F24V50/00 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of energy and can be used for the production of electric and thermal energy, clean fuel, as well as maintaining the optimal temperature conditions for marine biota in protected water areas. At the same time, the initial energy resource is only the thermal energy of the upper layers of the seas and other natural water basins. Marine energy complex contains a power plant that operates on the thermal energy of the sea, and includes auxiliary industrial desalination and electrolysis plants, as well as infrastructure facilities. To eliminate the need for a cooling marine or air environment, it uses a heat pump, while the drive of the generator is a thermomechanical converter with a solid or liquid working medium, calculated for the temperature drop of heat carriers in the heating and cooling circuits created by a heat pump with absorption of the heat of the aquatic environment.

EFFECT: invention will reduce the cost of developing the thermal energy of the oceans, expand the geographical space of its use, bring these energy sources closer to consumers of energy resources, reduce the man-caused strain on the natural environment.
