PURPOSE:To form a power generator having improved system efficiency by using the sea water by using a system in which the temperature of the surface layer of the sea water is raised by means of solar energy and a heating means in order to increase the difference of temperature between the surface layer and deep layer of the sea water. CONSTITUTION:A heater 22 for the sea water is set in such a way that a proper area of light-receiving face is provided on or below the surface layer of the sea water and around an intake tube 3. The heat from the solar energy 21 is transmitted to the surface layer of the sea water for heating the surface layer. A certain depth of a partition plate may be provided to the heater 22 in order to prevent the flow of the heated surface layer of the sea water by tidal current. The difference of temperature between the surface and deep layers of the sea water is increased, the efficiency of the evaporation and condensation heat cycles of working fluid is raised, and therefore, the efficiency of power generation is enhanced. |
