Testing Data Acquisition Systems for Use in Monitoring Building Energy Conservation Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Dedicated microprocessor-based data acquisition systems
are beginning to be used to monitor the energy savings from
building energy conservation retrofits. These systems capture
data from important monitoring points and ...
A Methodology for Identifying Retrofit Energy Savings in Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Measured energy savings resulting from energy conservation retrofits in commercial buildings can be used to verify the success of the retrofits, determine the payment schedule for the retrofits, and guide the selection of ...
Reduced Energy and Maintenance Costs Using Polyurethane as a Replacement Roof System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Reduction in maintenance and allied costs was the number one priority when Texas A&M University first considered polyurethane foam as a replacement roof for existing buildings. An investigation revealed
that when properly ...
Steam System Optimization: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
This paper highlights the study findings in a steam system in a plant from a multinational Petrochemical giant in an European country. The steam system operates with an annual budget of $8.9 million (local currency was ...
Identifying Savings Opportunities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
In this paper, guidelines for identifying energy savings opportunities in industrial plants are discussed. The analytical approach used in this discussion stems from the fundamental principle that the total energy into and ...
Insulation of Pipe Bends Improves Efficiency of Hot Oil Furnaces
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
Thermodynamic analyses of processes indicated low furnace efficiencies on certain hot oil furnaces. Further investigation, which included Infrared (IR) thermography testing of several furnaces, identified extremely hot ...
The Impact of Heat Transfer Enhancement Techniques on Energy Savings in the U.S. Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Since the mid-seventies, the manufacturing industries trend towards energy conservation has spurred both heat exchanger makers and users to try novel techniques for heat transfer enhancement. Augmentation techniques, applied ...
Waste Minimization: A Hidden Energy Savings?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
Several changes in the last few years have forced a
re-examination of waste generation within the petrochemical industry. In today's political/regulatory arena, industrial waste, both hazardous and non-hazardous,
has ...
Determination of Baselines for Evaluation and Promotion of Energy Efficiency in Wastewater Treatment Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-05)
Wastewater treatment plants are one of the largest energy consumers managed by the public sector. As plants expand in the future to accommodate population growth, energy requirements will substantially increase. Thus, ...
Three Paths to Energy Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
General Electric's program of energy management and conservation continues to provide significant savings in energy costs in a climate of increasing energy prices and reduced visibility and promotion nationally. In 1984, ...
