COOLING COASTAL WATERS
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for transporting cool water from the deep regions of the oceans to the shallow waters of the shoreline by a network of, for example, onsite manufactured FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) pipes and pumps. This water displacement lowers the temperature of the shallow water region to a desired level. To implement this method, a long pipe is laid over the seabed, extending from the shallow regions to a desired depth of the ocean where the water is cooler and cleaner than the shallow waters. A mechanical and/or an electrical water pump is then attached to either end of the pipe. The water pump, preferably energized by the water surface waves, will constantly pump the cooler and cleaner water from the depth of the ocean to the shallow waters, reducing the temperature and contamination of shallow waters.
