    • Active Humidity Control Through Gas-Fired Desiccant Humidity Pump 
      Novosel, D.; Griffiths, W. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
      High equipment first cost and high operating costs, if electricity is used to drive such a system, have prohibited the application of active humidity control equipment in comfort conditioning in the past. Instead, ...
    • Alternatives to Electric Air Conditioning Systems 
      Lindsay, B. B.; Koplow, M. D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
      The rapid escalation of electricity prices has created an opportunity to re-introduce gas-fired air conditioning systems to the commercial building market. In 1985 Gas Research Institute initiated a program to develop an ...
    • Effects of Material Moisture Adsorption and Desorption on Building Cooling Loads 
      Fairey, P.; Kosar, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
      Moisture adsorption and desorption (MAD) by internal building materials and furnishings can be significant in buildings. For many building cooling strategies, MAD may have overriding effects on building cooling loads. For ...
    • Emerging, Cost-Effective Applications for Desiccant Dehumidification in the U.S. 
      Witte, M. J.; Kosar, D. R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
      Gas-fired desiccant dehumidification systems are now being specified for many supermarkets, ice arenas and cold warehouses, with installations now numbering in the thousands. Their cost effectiveness is due to the economic ...
    • Gas -Fueled Engine-Driven Air Conditioning Systems for Commercial Buildings 
      Lindsay, B. B. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
      In 1985, the Gas Research Institute (GRI) initiated a program with Tecogen, Inc., to develop a nominal 150-ton gas-fueled engine-driven water chiller for commercial buildings. The packaged system has been designed, fabricated, ...
    • Preconditioning Outside Air: Cooling Loads from Building Ventilation 
      Kosar, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
      HVAC equipment manufacturers, specifiers and end users interacting in the marketplace today are only beginning to address the series of issues promulgated by the increased outside air requirements in ASHRAE Standard 62- ...
