OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CONVERSION EARLY TEST PROGRAM (OTEC-1)

The ship (platform) currently under conversion will be fitted with heat exchangers, ammonia power loops, Cold Water Pipe and high volume water systems. All systems will be instrumented and fitted with control devices giving a research platform which will provide extensive, usable data for future, large Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion plants.
