An ocean thermocline desalination system using the direct spray method

Abstract Most of the existing desalination technologies are highly dependent on primary energy, limiting their applications to affluent areas. To address water scarcity in remote areas, it is crucial exploit potential renewable energy sources for desalination. The natural temperature gradient between surface and deep seabed, i.e., ocean thermocline, can provide sufficient driving forces low-temperature thermal This study presents a thermocline system using direct spray method. A single-stage setup designed operated under ranges that typical thermocline. minimum gradients drive
