Pitfalls in Building and HVAC Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The purpose of an energy audit is to identify
and analyze areas of energy consumption and to propose
methods of conservation. In the process of
completing an audit the following areas of consumption
should be considered:
• ...

Gas Turbine Fired Heater Integration: Achieve Significant Energy Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Faster payout will result if gas turbine exhaust
is used as combustion air for fired heaters. Here
are economic examples and system design considerations.
Predicting Steam Turbine Performance
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Tracking the performance of extraction, back-pressure
and condensing steam turbines is a crucial
part of minimising energy and maintenance costs for
large process industries. A thorough understanding
of key equipment ...
Heat Recovery Boilers for Process Applications
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Heat recovery boilers are widely used in process plants for recovering energy from various waste gas streams, either from the consideration of process or of economy. Sulfuric, as well as nitric, acid plant heat recovery ...
Second Law Optimization of Heat Exchangers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
A new method for optimizing heat exchangers is developed in this paper. It is based on second law efficiency relationships rather than on the traditional heat exchanger effectiveness concept. The cost of energy is based ...
An Introduction to Waste Heat Recovery
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The recovery of waste heat energy is one element of a complete energy conservation plan. In addition to contributing to the goal of saving energy, utilization of waste heat is also an important source of cost savings. This ...
Conservation of Energy Through Engineered Specification and Onsite Review
(Energy System Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
There is more to conservation of energy than the thickness of insulation and the materials specified. Process temperature, environment, expected life, etc., must be considered. The dimensions of the insulation must be ...
