34 M.-H. Yang, R.-H. Yeh / Renewable Energy 68 (2014) 25e34 2. Cold seawater temperature affects optimal condensing tem- perature more strongly than optimal evaporating temperature in an OTEC system with an ORC. By contrast, warm seawater temperature affects optimal evaporating temperature more strongly than optimal condensing temperature. 3. The optimal temperature difference of seawater for obtaining the maximal objective parameter for an OTEC system is affected strongly by cold-seawater inlet temperature but weakly by warm-seawater inlet temperature.
