Open-Cycle

An OTEC system in which warm, surface seawater is the working fluid.

In open-cycle ocean thermal energy conversion, warm, surface seawater is placed in a low-pressure container that causes the water to boil, turning a turbine as the steam expands. The steam is then exposed to cold, deep seawater and condenses into freshwater.
