Analysis of Thermodynamic Process for a New Type of Profiling Floats Propelled with Ocean Thermal Energy

提出了一种新型海洋温差能驱动的剖面探测浮标,能够利用海表面和深层海水的微弱温度差,驱动浮标并发电供其控制系统使用,实现了浮标能量的自给自足。给出了浮标的系统组成、布置和详细的工作原理。对浮标的热力学过程进行了分析,给出了其关键组成蓄能器的压力取值范围和容积最佳值的计算方法。

We have developed a new type of profiling floats propelled and recharged only by using the temperature difference between the surface water and the deep sea.System composition and working principle of the new type of profiling floats are introduced.The range of values for pressure in the energy accumulator is confirmed and optimum volume of the energy accumulator is given by analyzing the thermodynamic process of the profiling float.
