A Compressed Air Reduction Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The reason for implementing this program was to
assist the plant in quantifying some of its
leaks in the equipment throuqhout the plant and
to provide direction as to which leaks are
generating high utility costs. The ...
Steam Pricing
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Steam is used in many plants to furnish both
heat and mechanical energy. It is typically
produced in several fired boilers which may operate
at different pressures and with different efficiencies.
It is then distributed ...
Pipe Insulation Economies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Pipe Insulation Economies is a computer program
written in IBM basic to simplify the economic
insulation thickness for an insulated pipe. Many
articles have been written on this subject, from
simple nomographs to a ...
Calculating Fired Heater Efficiency
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Tracking utility and process heater efficiency
leads to increased operator awareness and decreased
fuel bills. A review of the Heat Loss and
Input/Output methods of efficiency analyses is
presented, along with a ...
The Corporate Headquarters for Alabama Power Company--How One Utility is Promoting Cool Storage in a Big Way
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
In an era of increasing energy and construction costs, utilities have initiated efforts to influence what happens “on the other side of the meter” in order to better match the supply and demand of electricity and hold costs ...
Potential Energy Savings by Using Alternative Technologies for the Separation of Fluid Mixtures
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The focus of this work is to analyze alternative
processes and technologies for the separation of
fluid mixtures with respect to energy consumption.
In an effort to illustrate the dramatic potential
energy savings of ...
Cogeneration at Iowa Methodist Medical Center
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The Iowa Methodist Medical Center of Des Moines, Iowa, is installing two 1,500 kW Fairbanks-Morse
turbocharged dual-fuel reciprocating engine-generators.
The system will be installed with recovery
of exhaust waste heat ...
Providing Utilities with Tools for Industrial Marketing Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Marketing electrotechnologies to industrial
customers can be a complex task unless the right
tools are available to marketing representatives.
The Center for Metals Fabrication is
using several tools to tailor marketing ...
Improving the Thermal Output Availability of Reciprocating Engine Cogeneration Systems by Mechanical Vapor Compression
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
An innovative, alternative reciprocating engine
cogeneration system is being developed that can provide
the industrial and commercial end-user with
electric power and process heat that is totally in
the form of ...
Regenerative Boiler Feedwater Heater Economics
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The basic Rankine Vapor Cycle has been
repeatedly modified to improve efficiency.
Always, the objective is to produce more power
from constant fuel, or constant power from less
fuel. Pressures and temperatures have ...
