Ocean thermal energy conversion gas-desorption studies. Volume 2. Deaeration in a packed column and a barometric intake system
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6172551
After a review of previous relevant studies, the design of a gas desorption test loop and a barometric intake system are described. The results of vacuum deaeration in a packed column and a barometric intake system are presented, and the savings that can be achieved when the packed column and barometric intake system are combined are discussed. Vacuum deaeration laboratory experiments using three different kinds of packings in a packed column test section and a series of barometric intake deaeration experiments are reported. A conceptual OTEC deaeration subsystem design, based on these results, and its implications on an OTEC-open cycle power system are presented. (LEW)
