Title:
COOLING APPARATUS FOR COOLING FLUID BY MEANS OF SURFACE WATER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2021120614
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To solve the problem in which prior art systems for anti-fouling may be inefficient in their use, may require regular maintenance, and result in ion discharge to the sea water with possible hazardous effects.SOLUTION: A cooling apparatus 1 for cooling a fluid by means of surface water comprises at least one tube 8 to contain and transport the fluid in its interior, the exterior of the tube 8 being in operation at least partially submerged in the surface water so as to cool the tube 8 to thereby also cool the fluid. The cooling apparatus 1 further comprises at least one light source 9 for producing light that hinders fouling on the submerged exterior, where the light source 9 is dimensioned and positioned with respect to the tube 8 so as to cast anti-fouling light over the tube's exterior. By this structure, anti-fouling of the cooling apparatus 1 can be assured in an alternative and effective manner.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
