Design and Economic Evaluation of Thermionic Cogeneration in a Chlorine-Caustic Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The study shows that it is feasible to equip a chlorine-caustic plant with thermionic cogeneration. Thermionic combustors replace the existing burners of the boilers used to raise steam for the evaporators, and are capable ...
Present and Future Uses of Industrial Absorption Heat Pumps
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
This paper examines the present and projects the future uses of industrial absorption heat pumping. AHP technology is seen as an increasingly important component of plant and process heat integration for energy conservation. ...
Industrial Heat Pump Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
An open-cycle heat pump was retrofitted to a single-effect, recirculating-type evaporator used for reducing the water content of whey (a liquid by-product from cheese production). The purpose of the retrofit was to reduce ...
Upgrade of Multiple Boiler/Turbine Plant to Microprocessor Control- A Case History
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The Utilities Operation of the General Electric - Erie Plant
is responsible for providing all energy for the Plant. The
primary source is coal, which is used in four boilers to produce
steam for the generation of ...
Application and Operation of a 2-MW Organic Rankine Cycle System on a Refinery FCC Unit
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The nation's largest organic Rankine cycle (ORC) waste heat recovery system was started up in July 1984 at a West Coast oil refinery. The system includes two hermetically sealed turbine-generator units, each rated at 1070 ...
Cogeneration System Design Options
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The commercial or industrial firm contemplating cogeneration at its facilities faces numerous basic design choices. The possibilities exist for fueling the system with waste materials, gas, oil, coal, or other combustibles. ...
Air Movers of the Eighties
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Expensive fan wrecks and down time occurs when couplings break or gearboxes self-destruct. A viable alternative eliminates shaft, coupling, and gearbox moving motor to ground level, driving a hydraulic pump transmitting ...
Industrial Heat Pumps--Types and Costs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Many potentially beneficial applications for industrial heat pumps are not being pursued because of confusion regarding both energy savings and economics. Part of this confusion stems from the variety of heat pumps available ...
Reduction of Water Consumption
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Cooling systems using water evaporation to dissipate waste heat, will require one pound of water per 1,000 Btu. To reduce water consumption, a combination of "DRY" and "WET" cooling elements is the only practical answer. ...
Shortcuts to Financial Analysis
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Energy conservation projects are not "by definition" attractive business ventures. They usually require capital investment for implementation. Therefore, they must compete for scarce capital funds with all other proposals ...
