Performance of Horizontal Field Earth-Coupled Heat Pumps
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
An alternative to traditional methods of residential
heating and cooling is the heat pump. However,
heat pumps which use the outside air as a
heat source/sink become inefficient during the
periods of highest demand. Another ...
Start-Up of Air Conditioning Systems After Periods of Shutdown (Humidity Considerations)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
In many cases the single most important energy
conservation measure that can be taken is to turn
equipment off when it is not needed. In the case
of air conditioning, this generally means turning
it off when occupants leave ...
Integrated Ice Storage/Sprinkler HVAC System Sharply Cuts Energy Costs and Air-Distribution First Costs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
Integrated ice thermal storage/sprinkler
HVAC systems developed and applied by the author in
several commercial applications shift a major portion
of electric utility demand to cheaper off-peak hours,
while also reducing ...
Cooling Energy Measurements of Houses with Attics Containing Radiant Barriers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
Tests were conducted by Oak Ridge
National Laboratory (ORNL) to determine
the magnitude of the energy savings
brought about by installing radiant
barriers in the attics of single-family
houses. The radiant barrier used ...
Building Energy Use and Conservation in Cycle VIII of the Texas Institutional Conservation Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
Sixty-two technical assistance (energy audit)
reports by twelve different consulting firms representing
fifteen independent school districts, nine
hospitals, and five colleges have been reviewed to
assess energy use ...
Performance Testing of Radiant Barriers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
TVA has conducted a study to determine the
effects of radiant barriers (RBI (i.e., material
with a low emissivity surface facing an air
space), when used with fiberglass, on attic heat
transfer during summer and winter. ...
Facility Automation Products--Systems--Applications--Trends
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
This paper reviews the current state of
technology as digital systems continue
rapid evolution and migration into
facility control and automation roles.
This digital evolution encompasses
control systems, management ...
Design of a 465 MW Combined Cycle Cogeneration Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
This paper describes the design of a base loaded
465 MW (net) combined cycle cogeneration plant
designed to sell up to 1,150,000 lb/hr of steam to
a chemical plant in Houston, Texas, and sell up to
550,000 kW of electric ...
Mechanical Compression Heat Pumps
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Mechanical compression heat pumping is
not new in industrial applications. In
fact, industry history suggests that the
theoretical concept was developed before
1825.
Heat pump manufacturers gained the
support of ...
500°F Absorption Heat Pump Under Development
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Economic industrial heat pumping to temperatures above 500°F (260°C) is promised
in the near future. A new absorption fluid is the key. Tested under DOE sponsorship,
the new fluid has proven to be thermally
stable and ...
