20160061181 | ARRANGEMENT FOR CONTROLLING WATER FLOW AT EDGE OF RECIPROCATING PANEL ELEMENT OF A WAVE ENERGY RECOVERY UNIT - This invention relates to an arrangement for controlling water flow at an edge of a reciprocating panel element of a wave energy recovery unit equipped with at least a control system, in which arrangement the panel element is hinged onto the base at the bottom of the sea with the help of support structures and support shafts. The arrangement comprises adjustable water flow adjustment means at least at one edge of the panel element. | 03-03-2016 |
20160040647 | SUBMERSIBLE WAVE ENERGY CONVERSION UNIT - This invention relates to a submersible wave energy con- version unit comprising at least a stationary stand, a panel hinged at its lower edge onto the stationary stand to make a reciprocating motion in response to kinetic energy of waves or tidal currents, and a power-take-off machinery. According to the invention the power-take-off machinery is placed inside the panel. | 02-11-2016 |
20140230426 | ARRANGEMENT IN WAVE ENERGY RECOVERY SYSTEM - This invention relates to an arrangement in a wave energy recovery system comprising at least a wing element hinged on its one edge to make a reciprocating motion in response to kinetic energy of waves or tidal currents, a wave energy recovery means having a space alterable by its volume with the help of a connection rod making a reciprocating movement caused by the wing element At least the sealings and/or through holes between the space and the connection rod are protected against seawater. | 08-21-2014 |
20140050535 | METHOD FOR INSTALLING AND SERVICING AN APPARATUS RECOVERING THE KINETIC ENERGY OF WATER, AND AN APPARATUS RECEOVERING THE KINETIC ENERGY OF WATER - The object of the invention is a method for installing and servicing an apparatus module recovering the kinetic energy of water; and the apparatus module itself. The apparatus module with wave energy recovering units is descended into the sea bottom and is kept steady at the sea bottom by the help of its own mass and the mass of the water filled into a plurality of soft and hard compartments and valve compartments in the body of the apparatus module. Correspondingly the apparatus module is lifted into the surface of the water and made floating by the help of air that is blown to the plurality of soft and hard compartments and the valve compartments in order to replace the water. | 02-20-2014 |
20140021031 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DESALINATION OF SEAWATER - The invention relates to a method and apparatus for desalination of seawater, the method comprising at least conducting the seawater into a distillation container, vaporizing the seawater, condensing formed vapor into distilled water, and conducting said distilled water by the help of a pump into further use. In the method the seawater is heated and the vapor is condensed by the help of a heating and cooling means comprising at least a compressor, a hot circuit and a cold circuit. At least the energy for vaporizing the seawater, for condensing formed vapor into distilled water, and for conducting said distilled water by the help of a pump into further use is taken from the kinetic energy of the waves. | 01-23-2014 |
