-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)Adjustable speed AC drives have become the preferred choice in many industrial applications where controlled speed is required. At the same time, the maturing of the technology and the availability of fast and efficient ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)Electric motors are significant users of electricity in the United States. Approximately 66 percent of the total electricity in the U.S. is used by electric motors. Electronic adjustable speed drives (ASDs) can save energy, ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)Centrifugal pumps are generally sized to operate at or near the best efficiency point at maximum flow. The maximum flow requirements, however, frequently occur for a very short period during the operating cycle with the ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)This paper describes applications and incentives for the use of variable frequency drivers (VFD) in the petroleum refining, petrochemical, and chemical industries. VFDs are a particular type of adjustable speed driver (ASD) ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)Petroleum and chemical plants of today are effectively cutting energy losses in their plants thermally, electrically, and mechanically in their process equipment. In rotating process equipment such as pumps, fans, compressors, ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)Removal of small amounts of water from organic liquids is normally handled by adsorption or by azeotropic distillation. The latter method is well documented and analysis or design is straightforward so long as the ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)When recuperators are installed on industrial furnaces, burners and ratio control systems must continue to operate reliably under a wider range of conditions. Most currently available hot air burners use dilution air ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)Chemical heat pumps utilizing liquid-vapor reactions can be configured in forms analogous to electric drive vapor-compression heat pumps and heat activated absorption heat pumps. Basic thermodynamic considerations ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)The performance of cogeneration power plants can now be assessed on line in real time using a distributed microprocessor-based data acquisition and control system. A representative implementation is described for ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)A process computer is a powerful tool for maximizing the use of energy and raw materials. Advanced computer control techniques are evolving which facilitate the recovery of energy by predictive control techniques. One such ...
