The below figure illustrates the system known as Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion for creating electricity.Overall it can be seen that this process consists of three stages. Like, how sea water is used for generating electricity as well as for drinking purposes. Besides this, how the salty water dispose off.
To begin with, warm seawater which is at 29°C is converted into water vapours by solar energy. This process occurs in Evacuated evaporation chamber where salt deposits on the bottom of container and saltless seawater is used for generating electricity with the help of turbines.
While the cold water will put down in condensed chamber to make it useful for drinking purposes in the form of pure water. Furthermore, The water which is at 5°C is not beneficial for drinking so it will be wasted out through duct from one end of chamber.
