Heat Recovery Considerations for Process Heaters and Boilers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The largest single area for industrial energy
conservation is in the improvement of combustion
efficiencies for heaters and boilers.
A number of methods can be employed to recover
heat. The most common are by use of ...
Separation Process Economics
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Heist Engineering is comparing the
economics of separations processes as
part of current programs with the US
Department of Energy, the Electric power
Research Institute, and industrial
clients. The initial results ...
In Situ Energy Loss Instruments for Insulation Economy and Process Control
(Energy System Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Energy loss from hot or cold piping and process equipment can be measured with good reliability using heat flux transducers and careful monitoring techniques. Two types of industrial instruments are discussed in the paper ...
Little Silver Bullets
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Energy conservation has lost much of its glamor of five years ago as many large projects and high-profile efforts have yielded important results. Panic-driven priority has been replaced by persistent needs of day-to-day ...
Evaluation of Technology Risk in Project Cogeneration Project Returns
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The economic returns of a cogeneration project are a direct function of the project margin, that is, the difference between revenues and expenses. Revenues and expenses, of course, are made up of both variable and fixed ...
Steam Traps-The Oft Forgotten Energy Conservation Treasure
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
In these days of high technology, the steam trap is often treated as a commodity item, forgotten by many and respected by a relative few. Yet, in many facilities, widespread undetected failure of steam traps has wasted ...
Reducing Energy Usage in Extractive Distillation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Butadiene 1:3 is separated from other C4-hydrocarbons
by extractive distillation in a
sieve plate tower. Prior to the development
work to be described, the pressure in the
extraction tower was controlled at a fixed
value. ...
Absorption Heat Pumping- Have You Tried It?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The concept of a thermal powered absorption heat pump is not a new or revolutionary idea. It has been successfully demonstrated in the lab and prototypes have been installed in the field. Units have been successfully applied ...
Small-Scale Industrial Cogeneration: Design Using Reciprocating Engines and Absorption Chillers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
This paper describes a packaged cogeneration system
designed for light industrial applications (i.e.,
situations where a user wants a maximum of 1 MW of
cogenerated electricity). The design employs reciprocating
engines ...
Bonneville Power Administration's Purchasing of Energy Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA)
is conducting a commercial buildings retrofit
program in the Pacific Northwest by making payments
to a sponsor, such as an energy service
company or architectural and engineering ...
