AI Technical Summary
Existing deep-sea thermoelectric conversion devices are prone to corrosion and damage under high-temperature and highly corrosive hydrothermal contact. The cooling system relies on mechanical pumps, which are energy-intensive and cannot be adaptively adjusted, resulting in insufficient reliability and environmental adaptability.
Heat pipe array modules are used for heat source transfer and isolation, and natural gravity circulation cooling is achieved by combining a folding adjustment device. Cooling is driven by the density difference of seawater, avoiding mechanical pumps, and the cooling channels are dynamically adjusted to adapt to changes in heat load.
This achieves physical isolation between the high-temperature corrosive hydrothermal fluid and the power generation unit, reducing energy consumption, improving the stability and environmental adaptability of the device, and ensuring efficient power generation during long-term operation.
