Abstract
A flexible and pivotable connection for the top of a cold water conduit 8 to a floating device 1-3 provided with means for the conversion of energy based on the temperature difference between surface water and deep sea water supplied by the conduit. The connection supports the top of the conduit by means of flexible cables to a central core 7 guided and fixed in a sleeve 5, 6 of the floating device. The flexible cables 10, 11 partly extend horizontally from the lower end of the core to a top ring 9 of the conduit, and partly from the lower end of the core downwardly towards a lower annular portion 12 of the conduit.
