ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATING APPARATUS USING HEAT OF SUBMARINE HYDROTHEMAL DEPOSIT

摘要

PURPOSE: A power generation system using the heat of hydrothermal deposit is provided to use energy wasted during a step of cooling minerals to collect minerals from submarine hydrothermal deposit. CONSTITUTION: A power generation system(100) using the heat of hydrothermal deposit comprises a heat supply unit(110), a heat pipe(120), a Stirling engine(130), and a generator(140). The heat supply unit supplies the heat of the hydrothermal mine. The heat pipe is heated by the heat provided from the heat supply unit. The Stirling engine is driven by the temperature difference by the heat pipe. The generator generates electricity by the driving force of the Stirling engine.
