    • Comparison Study of Energy Intensity in the Textile Industry: A Case Study in Five Textile Sub-sectors 
      Hasanbeigi, A.; Hasanabadi, A.; Abdorrazaghi, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)
      This paper contributes to the understanding of energy use in the textile industry by comparing the energy intensity of textile plants in five major sub-sectors, i.e. spinning, weaving, wet-processing, worsted fabric ...
    • Foam Processing of Textiles 
      Bafford, R. A.; Namboodri, C. G. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      Foam processing is an energy-conserving alternative to the conventional wet processing, i.e., dyeing, printing and finishing, of textiles. Where water is ordinarily used as a medium to apply dyes or chemicals to a fabric, ...
    • Infra-Red Process for Colour Fixation on Fabrics 
      Biau, D.; Raymond, D. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Infra-red radiations find wide application in industrial processes as heating, drying, stoving and forming. The results are often far better than those from the other techniques: convection oven, gas IR etc . They come ...
    • Research Needs and Priorities for Textile Process Electrification 
      Hendrix, W. A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      There are numerous electric-based process technologies which have the potential for efficiency and productivity improvement in the textile industry. The most important of these candidate technologies were discussed by ...
    • Waste Heat Doesn't Have to be a Waste of Money- The American & Efird Heat Recovery Project: A First for the Textile Industry 
      Smith, S. W. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
      In 1989 American & Efird, Inc., decided to upgrade their heat recovery system at its Dyeing & Finishing Plant in Mt. Holly, North Carolina. They chose an electric industrial process heat pump to enhance heat recovery ...
