De-Aeration and Re-Injection of Noncondensable Gases in Open-Cycle OTEC

by Manfred J. Zapka, OCEES Int Inc, United States,

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Ocean Energy Recovery

Abstract:

Non-condensable gas exchange characteristics in seawater and fresh water are compared and contrasted. The higher rate of exchange observed for these gases in seawater is incorporated in suggested Open-Cycle OTEC changes that will reduce overall costs, increase condenser efficiency and prevent CO₂ discharges to the atmosphere as well as de-oxygenated water discharges to the ocean.
