The conceptual design of a 40 to 50 MW closed cycle ammonia OTEC commercial plant, the preliminary design of a 10 MW OTEC module analogous to the 50 MW module, and the preliminary design of heat exchanger test articles (evaporator and condenser) representative of the 50 MW heat exchangers for testing in OTEC-1 are presented. This volume of the report presents Appendix G: ammonia cycle, auxiliaries and ancillaries. Design descriptions are given (for the 50 MW commercial plant and the 10 MW module) for the ammonia vapor and condensate systems, ammonia storage and fill systems, noncondensible gas removal systems, ammonia cleanup systems, ammonia unloading systems, leak detection systems, and fluid sampling systems.
