. Deep ocean power systems. Electric power distribution; Hydroelectric power plants. The annular condenser would be formed by making a space between the pressure hull and the inner cylinder. A 3/4-inch annular condenser would allow for pressure hull deflections of 5/32 inch. The lower end may be rig- idly attached, but the upper end should be attached with a flexible seal to the hull to avoid loading the inner cylinder with sea pressure deflections of the pressure hull. The hull condenser would be adequate sized for plants at depths of 600 and 6,000 feet where the ambient seawater is 24°C. How
. Deep ocean power systems. Electric power distribution; Hydroelectric power plants. The annular condenser would be formed by making a space between the pressure hull and the inner cylinder.

The hull condenser would be adequate sized for plants at depths of 600 and 6,000 feet where the ambient seawater is 24°C. However, for 29°C seawater, the plant at 6,000 feet would have to operate at about 2/3 of full power, and the plant at 600 feet would provide full power at 29°C. The freshwater cooling system, shown in Figure A-7, would provide cooling for the air ejecter and gland exhaust condenser, air and lubricating oil cooler for the turbine-generator set, reactor plant auxiliary systems, and machinery spaces. Freshwater would be circulated through a water cooler heat exchanger and then circulated to the various coolers. Heat would be transferred from the freshwater to the shield water by a shield water circu- lating system and then finally rejected from the shield water through the pressure hull. The total freshwater heat load was estimated to be less than 250,000 Btu/hr. The shield water heat load was estimated to be less than 300,000 Btu/hr. pressure hull shield tank expansion tank air and lubricating oil cooler for the turbine-generator set. air ejecter and gland exhaust condenser shield water circulation pumps Figure A-7.
