Energy Savings by Wideband Temperature Control in Telephone Offices
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
In 1982, 6.9 million BOE of energy costing nearly $600 million was used in approximately 16,000 Bell System Telephone equipment buildings. About 27% of that energy was used for heating, ventilating and air conditioning. ...
Recovering the Heat Dissipated by the Digital Switching Equipment
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
With the advent of the Digital Switching Equipment, came the need for year round cooling due to its high heat density. This meant the need for independent systems of heating and cooling within the same building, one consuming ...
Humidification Steam vs. Water-Spray
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Currently the HVAC systems which require winter humidification at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) utilize an economizer cycle with steam as the source for humidification. Due to the continuously increasing cost of ...
Cost-Energy Dynamics: An Engineering - Economic Basis for Industrial Energy Conservation Policies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
This paper develops a theory called cost-energy dynamics that can be used to shape policies for industrial energy conservation. It is built on two hypotheses commonly observed in process engineering; namely, cost varies ...
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 ...
New Developments in Storage and Handling of Biomass
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
An extensive research project to derive
guidelines for the design of a reliable
bin-feeder system for biomass materials has been
completed. The new system uses a converging
mass flow hopper with a much smaller outlet ...
Reducing Energy Consumption in Industrial Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Owners or managers want to conserve energy, however, they have limited funds. Energy conservation must stand on its merits economically if it is to successfully compete for funds. There are two basic types of approaches ...
Evaluating Transformer Losses
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
This paper outlines how to determine what transformer losses cost and how to evaluate transformer bids to optimize the investment.
Electric Utility Industrial Conservation Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The Alliance to Save Energy conducted a study, funded by the John A. Hartford Foundation, of industrial and commercial electricity conservation opportunities in the service territory of Arkansas Power and Light Company ...
Total Economics of Energy Efficient Motors
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Due to the large increases in cost of electrical energy in recent years, the energy savings attainable with the use of energy-efficient motors is very attractive to all motor users. But energy and electric demand charge ...
