A method and an apparatus for collecting deep sea water and surface sea water into a heat exchange chamber by the gravity in an OTEC(Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) system are provided to improve the power generation efficiency and cut down on the cost of OTEC plants. An apparatus for collecting deep sea water and surface sea water into a heat exchange chamber by the gravity in an OTEC system comprises a heat exchange chamber installed in the power generation facility and a cold water chamber(16) installed inside the heat exchange chamber below the seawater surface(13). Cold water(19) of deep sea is supplied to the cold water chamber by the gravity and then supplied to the heat exchange chamber and heat-exchanged with seawater(20) of relatively high temperature. |
