Abstract: A cooling apparatus (1) for cooling a fluid by means of surface water comprises a plurality of tubes (10) for containing and transporting the fluid to be cooled in their interior, the tubes (10) being intended to be at least partially exposed to the surface water during operation of the cooling apparatus (1). Furthermore, the cooling apparatus (1) comprises a plurality of light sources (21, 22) for producing light that hinders fouling of the exterior of the tubes (10), the light sources (21, 22) being dimensioned and positioned with respect to the tubes (10) so as to cast anti-fouling light over the exterior of the tubes (10), wherein the light sources (21, 22) have a generally elongated shape, and wherein the light sources (21, 22) are arranged in at least two mutually different orientations in the cooling apparatus (1).

Abstract: An assembly comprises an object (2, 101, 102, 103) having a surface which is intended to be exposed to water during at least a part of the lifetime thereof. In order to be capable of avoiding biofouling of the surface in a first stage of the lifetime of the assembly, without needing to have a supply of power in order to achieve the anti-fouling effect as desired in that first stage, the assembly furthermore comprises an anti-fouling protector arrangement (30) which is adapted to initially prevent the surface from being contacted by water, and which comprises degradable material. Also, the assembly comprises at least one energy source (20) which is adapted to emit energy for causing the protector arrangement (30) to disintegrate.
