  2. Marine heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_heat_exchanger

    Shell and tube heat exchangers consist of a tube bundle which is placed inside the larger shell. [2] Due to this design these exchanger require twice the footprint of the plate heat exchanger in order to perform maintenance. Depending on the amount of cooling needed, shell and tube heat exchangers can be built in single or double pass ...

  3. Ocean thermal energy conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_thermal_energy...

    The study concluded that although microbial fouling was an issue for the warm surface water heat exchanger, the cold water heat exchanger suffered little or no biofouling and only minimal inorganic fouling. [46] Besides water temperature, microbial fouling also depends on nutrient levels, with growth occurring faster in nutrient rich water. [113]

  4. Sea water air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_water_air_conditioning

    Sea water air conditioning (SWAC), also known as ocean water cooling, is an alternative cooling system that uses the deep cold seawater as the chilling agent for a closed-loop fresh water distributed cooling system. It is one type of deep water source cooling. Once installed, SWAC systems typically operate at approximately 15% of the power ...

  5. Deep water source cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_water_source_cooling

    Deep water source cooling (DWSC) or deep water air cooling is a form of air cooling for process and comfort space cooling which uses a large body of naturally cold water as a heat sink. It uses water at 4 to 10 degrees Celsius drawn from deep areas within lakes, oceans, aquifers or rivers, which is pumped through the one side of a heat exchanger .

    C - Potable water out D - Brine out (waste) E - Condensate out F - Heat exchange G - Condensation collection H - Brine heater MSF Desalination Plant at Jebel Ali G Station, Dubai. The plant has a series of spaces called stages, each containing a heat exchanger and a condensate collector. The sequence has a cold end and a hot end while ...

  7. Copper in heat exchangers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_in_heat_exchangers

    Copper nickel is the group of alloys that are commonly specified in heat exchanger or condenser tubes in evaporators of desalination plants, process industry plants, air cooling zones of thermal power plants, high-pressure feed water heaters, and sea water piping in ships. [11]

  8. Thermohaline circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermohaline_circulation

    Thermohaline circulation (THC) is a part of the large-scale ocean circulation that is driven by global density gradients created by surface heat and freshwater fluxes. [1] [2] The adjective thermohaline derives from thermo-referring to temperature and -haline referring to salt content, factors which together determine the density of sea water.

  9. Heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_exchanger

    Tubular heat exchanger Partial view into inlet plenum of shell and tube heat exchanger of a refrigerant based chiller for providing air-conditioning to a building. A heat exchanger is a system used to transfer heat between a source and a working fluid. Heat exchangers are used in both cooling and heating processes. [1]
