Microcomputers in Process Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Computers have been extensively used for
process control and optimization since the
1970's. Many articles have been published
documenting the benefits of computer control; and
in general, energy savings of 5% or greater ...
Industrial Low Temperature Waste Heat Utilization
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
In this paper, some common and emerging techniques to better utilize energy in the chemical process industries are discussed. Temperature levels of waste heat available are pointed out. Emerging practices for further ...
The Homopolar Generator as a Pulsed Industrial Power Supply
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Technological breakthroughs in recent years have allowed the homopolar generator to be developed to a point where it can now be considered a highly reliable industrial pulsed power supply. These power supplies are capable ...
Self Contained Temperature Actuated Control Valves
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
There is a virtually unlimited potential for energy conservation by utilizing self contained temperature actuated valves. As steam costs soar it becomes more and more important to conserve feed stock dollars as well as the ...

costs. There are three ...
Cogeneration Can Add To Your Profits
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The predicted rapid escalation of gas and electric costs, particularly in those utility systems predominantly fired by gas, make it important for both industry and utilities to evaluate the role of cogeneration in their ...
The Future of Passive Solar in Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Passive solar is a family of techniques
for the direct use of sunlight for
illumination and heating. Industrial
facilities have characteristics which
particularly favor the use of these techniques.
This paper examines ...
Gas Separation Using Membranes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Commercial membrane-based gas separator systems based upon high-flux, asymmetric polysulfone hollow fibers were first introduced in 1977 by Monsanto. These systems were packaged in compact modules containing large amounts ...
