This invention discloses a deep-sea
water intake device and method, belonging to the field of deep-sea
aquaculture technology. It includes a movable
water intake pipe, a
water intake well, a water intake
pipe lifting device, a transition chamber, a
seabed valve, a deep-sea water intake grid, a mid-sea water intake grid, a shallow-sea water intake grid, a
bottom water intake grid, side openings of the transition chamber, and a water-blocking baffle. The water-blocking baffle is connected to the movable water intake
pipe and located above or below the mid-sea water intake grid, and is used to control the opening and closing of the mid-sea water intake grid. Through this invention, by adjusting the height of the movable water intake pipe and the position of the water-blocking baffle at the mid-water inlet, deep
seawater is allowed to pass through the water intake pipe, the transition chamber located at the bottom of the vessel, the
seabed valve, and related
piping systems to the
seawater pump suction port, thereby achieving deep-sea water intake. This provides a more efficient and controllable water intake method, allowing the water intake depth to be adjusted according to
aquaculture needs and
seawater characteristics, thereby improving
aquaculture production efficiency, reducing energy waste, mitigating environmental
impact, and enhancing
sustainability.
