The diagram shows the process of electricity production through Ocean Thermal Energy Conversation (OTEC).

The given picture demonstrates the production of electricity through Ocean Thermal Energy Conversation (OTEC).

Overall

, the process seems fairly simple because it includes only a few steps and these steps involve two crucial processes

such

as evaporation and condensation. The surface ocean

water

is warm at 29 degrees Celsius and 1000m inside the ocean,

water

is cold at 5 degrees Celsius.

To begin

with, as the surface

water

is exposed to the sun,

water

gets converted to

water

vapour

which is

then

passed to the Evacuated evaporation

chamber

. In

this

chamber

, salt and

water

vapour

are separated.

After

this

, saltless

water

vapour

obtained from the container rotates the turbine, generating electrical energy. To add on, salt from the previous

chamber

and the

water

vapour

from the turbine is now sent to another container called the Condensing

chamber

.

Also

, the cold seawater which is 1000m from the surface is

also

pushed into

this

chamber

.

Finally

,

Water

vapour

is condensed inside

this

chamber

to produce pure drinking

water

and Waste salt

water

is

also

released

at the end

of the process.
