Water and Space Heating Heat Pumps
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
This paper discusses the design and operation of the Trane Weathertron III Heat Pump Water Heating
System and includes a comparison of features and performance to other domestic water heating systems.
Domestic water is ...
Trends in Building Energy Usage in Texas State Agencies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
In late 1983, a cost containment program was
initiated out of the governor's office directed at
the major state agencies. The Energy Management
Group at Texas A&M University provided technical
expertise in obtaining agency ...
How Intex Helped Superior Die Set Corporation Produce 35% Above Capacity, With Only 3% More Electricity
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
A detailed energy usage and productivity study of the existing HVAC, lighting and process equipment was
performed at the Superior Die Set Corporation located in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. The study began in January,
1984, and ...
Energy Conservation Experiences with HVAC Systems in the High Humidity Climate, A Case History
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
The purpose of this paper is to discuss several commonly encountered problems associated with
attempts to air condition buildings in the humid
environment. It, first, reports observations made
in the course of studying the ...
Rain on the Roof-Evaporative Spray Roof Cooling
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
This paper describes evaporative spray roof
cooling systems, their components, performance and
applications in various climates and building types.
The evolution of this indirect evaporative cooling
technique is discussed. ...
Influence of Infrared Radiation on Attic Heat Transfer
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
An experimental study concerned with different modes
of heal transfer in fibrous and cellulose insulating material
is presented. A series of experiments were conducted using
an attic simulator to determine the effects of ...
Cooling Towers, The Neglected Energy Resource
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Loving care is paid to the compressors,
condensers, and computer programs of
refrigeration systems. When problems arise,
operator: run around in circles with expensive
"fixes", but historically ignore the poor orphan,
the ...
Making It Happen: Achieving Energy Efficiency in Multi-Family Buildings Housing Low-Income Tenants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Saving energy in multi-family buildings
is a comparatively easy task to accomplish in
theory: engineering science has shown us how
to reduce heatloss and air infiltration, how
to balance systems and improve heating ...
Cooling Strategies Based on Indicators of Thermal Storage in Commercial Building Mass
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Building thermal mass and multi-day regimes of
hot weather are important, yet poorly understood,
contributors to cooling energy requirements. This
paper develops load-shifting sub-cooling and precooling
equipment operating ...
