Heat Integrate Heat Engines in Process Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
This paper presents a novel method for the
integration of heat engines into total processes to
effect large energy savings. Paybacks are often
short. The method is applicable to new designs and
retrofits and is ...
Ground Loops for Heat Pumps and Refrigeration
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
Ground loops are used for water source heat
pumps. Refrigeration can be put on a ground loop.
Water-cooled condensing units are more efficient
than air-cooled, and they can be put indoors.
Indoor location makes piping for ...
Desiccant Cooling Systems - A Review
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
Desiccant cooling systems have been investigated extensively during the past decade as alternatives to electrically driven vapor compression
systems because regeneration temperatures of the
desiccant - about 160°F, can be ...
Experimental Results on Advanced Rotary Desiccant Dehumidifiers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
The Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) has
developed the Cyclic Test Facility (CTF) to develop
and validate analytical methods for evaluating and
predicting the performance of advanced rotary dehumidifiers.
This paper ...
Electric Utility Demand-Side Evaluation Methodologies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The electric utility industry's demand-side
management programs can be analyzed from various
points of view using a standard benefit-cost
methodology. The methodology now in use by
several electric utilities and the ...
Overview and Burning Technology Opportunities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
In the late seventies, Canada put in place
several programs designed to support the
development and implementation of new ideas as
well as the improvement of old technologies to
utilize renewables as a source of ...
Our Favorite Electrical Energy Saving Opportunities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
A survey of approximately 200 energy
audits yielded a set of opportunities that
kept reappearing. This article surveys
those opportunities describing advantages,
disadvantages, and possible pitfalls. Also,
the article ...
Fuel Cells as an Emerging Technology
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The United States Department of Energy (DOE) has
been directing a fuel cell research and development
program since 1976. The intention of this
program is to pursue improvements in utilization
of domestic natural gas, ...
The Energy Tracker
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Since 1978, Houston Lighting & Power Company
has been concerned with promoting the efficient
use of energy. The guiding concept to the creation
of conservation programs is the underlying responsibility
to respond to ...
Evaluation of a Local Air Conditioning Duty Cycling Device as a Load Management Tool
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
During the summer of 1984, a test was performed
to evaluate a local air conditioning duty cycling
device as a tool to reduce TUEC's system summer peak
demand. In addition to the local duty cycling
device, a direct load ...
