However, the technology has not yet been developed that would allow the hull penetrations required for adequate heat removal at the high power levels for depths of 6,000 feet and more. In addition to the feasibility of fabricating pressure hulls of adequate size to enclose the power plant equipment, a suitable technique for heat removal must be developed for large submersible power plants.

However, the technology has not yet been developed that would allow the hull penetrations required for adequate heat removal at the high power levels for depths of 6,000 feet and more. In addition to the feasibility of fabricating pressure hulls of adequate size to enclose the power plant equipment, a suitable technique for heat removal must be developed for large submersible power plants. Because of the major developmental effort that would thus be required, the larger power plants of 1,000 and 3,000 kw at depths of 6,000 feet and over were eliminated from further consideration in this study program. A potential means of meeting large power loads is to use several small power sources. However, some of the technical problems involved in paralleling multiple units are related to electrical characteristics, deployment, and retrieval. In addition, the cost would be very great for multiple conversion machinery i â LJ^^; sen.
