(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)In this paper, guidelines for identifying energy savings opportunities in industrial plants are discussed. The analytical approach used in this discussion stems from the fundamental principle that the total energy into and ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)Since the mid-seventies, the manufacturing industries trend towards energy conservation has spurred both heat exchanger makers and users to try novel techniques for heat transfer enhancement. Augmentation techniques, applied ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)Thermodynamic analyses of processes indicated low furnace efficiencies on certain hot oil furnaces. Further investigation, which included Infrared (IR) thermography testing of several furnaces, identified extremely hot ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)Ohio Edison Company serves about 800,000 customers in Ohio and Pennsylvania, making it one of the 20 largest electric utilities in the nation. The 'cost of service' concept has been basic to rate design throughout the ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)Measured energy savings resulting from energy conservation retrofits in commercial buildings can be used to verify the success of the retrofits, determine the payment schedule for the retrofits, and guide the selection of ...

Optimization of a Combined Cooling, Heat, and Power Plant Design for Existing Central Utility Plants (2023-05-02)Cost and emission savings with load-following capability are essential factors in the design optimization of Combined Cooling, Heating, and Power (CCHP) systems. This thesis presents a methodology for evaluating CCHP system ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)Conventional wisdom in recent times has been to raise the chilled water temperature to conserve chiller power. This is an effective and well-proven conservation strategy; however, it may be less optimal than other available ...
-
(2012-07-16)This study evaluated how well energy savings persisted over time in ten university buildings that had undergone retro-commissioning in 1996. The savings achieved immediately following retro-commissioning and in three ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)Premium efficient motors are available which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy with fewer losses than the more standard motors. The fewer losses in these motors are due to changes in the motor design and ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)Over the last five years, significant energy savings have been achieved by several international companies using the pinch concept for heat integration. New concepts are now being added to help the designer deal with capital ...
-
(2017-08-30)This study quantifies the electricity savings to homeowners when they install and use Home Automation Devices (HADs), which are also called Internet of Things (IoT), in a residence. To accomplish this study, new analysis ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)Two methods for achieving substantial energy savings through recirculation techniques are discussed: 1. Air cleaning methods that can be used to recover the energy content of previously-exhausted ventilation air in many ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)The cost of doing business has been increasing at an alarming rate, especially energy-related costs. GM's yearly energy costs have surpassed the one billion dollar mark and are well on their way toward the two billion ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)Reduction in maintenance and allied costs was the number one priority when Texas A&M University first considered polyurethane foam as a replacement roof for existing buildings. An investigation revealed that when properly ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)Owners or managers want to conserve energy, however, they have limited funds. Energy conservation must stand on its merits economically if it is to successfully compete for funds. There are two basic types of approaches ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)The manufacture of ammonia is an energy intensive process. Existing large scale plants typically require 33-40 MM BTU (LHV)/ST as energy input. New plant designs can achieve energy levels below 27 MM BTU (LHV)/ST. Therefore, ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)Energy management in modern refineries is becoming more difficult as the real cost of in-house and purchased fuel escalates and the quality of feed stocks decreases. Furnace tube maintenance has been made more complex by ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)This paper highlights the study findings in a steam system in a plant from a multinational Petrochemical giant in an European country. The steam system operates with an annual budget of $8.9 million (local currency was ...
