Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2015059364A1] 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 (1) with wave energy recovering units (3) is descended on 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 (2a, 2d) and valve compartments (2c) in the body (2) of the apparatus module. Correspondingly the apparatus module (1) 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 (2a, 2d) and the valve compartments (2c) in order to replace the water.
