UNDERWATER COOLING ASSEMBLY

摘要

A lightweight underwater cooling assembly with a high cooling capacity comprises: an assembly of heat exchanger tubes (4) arranged in a submerged refrigerant boiling chamber (5); a thin walled water cooled condenser (6) in which refrigerant vaporized in the boiling chamber (5) is condensed and from which condensed refrigerant is recirculated into the boiling chamber (5); and a thin walled pressure compensating membrane (9) which maintains the fluid pressure (~psea) within the boiling chamber (5) and condenser (6) substantially similar to the fluid pressure (psea) of the (sea) water surrounding the submerged refrigerant boiling chamber (5).
