    • Adaptive Optimization of Central Chiller Plant Equipment Sequencing 
      Fiorino, D. P.; Priest, J. W. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
      Control strategies for plant engineering systems are a contemporary research topic of great interest. Their purpose is to provide control that adapts to changes in demand and other operating conditions in order to ...
    • An Application of State-Of-The-Art HVAC and Building Systems 
      Fiorino, D. P. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
      This case study describes the successful application of state-of-the-art HVAC and building systems at a large commercial office and industrial facility. The facility's exterior envelope systems, HVAC systems, lighting ...
    • Cooling Semiconductor Manufacturing Facilities with Chilled Water Storage 
      Fiorino, D. P. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
      This paper examines the 5.2 million gallon chilled water storage system installed at TI's Expressway manufacturing complex in Dallas, Texas. During the peak cooling season ending September 30, 1994, it provided 3,750 tons ...
    • Cost-Effective Industrial Boiler Plant Efficiency Advancements 
      Fiorino, D. P. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
      Natural gas and electricity are expensive to the extent that annual fuel and power costs can approach the initial cost of an industrial boiler plant. Within this context, this paper examines several cost-effective efficiency ...
    • Optimal Sequencing of Central Refrigeration Equipment in an Industrial Plant 
      Fiorino, D. P.; Priest, J. W. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
      A model was developed to find a viable solution to the problem of selecting the optimal sequence of refrigeration equipment (chillers, cooling towers, pumps) to operate in a Central Utility Plant. The optimal equipment ...
    • Steam Conservation and Boiler Plant Efficiency Advancements 
      Fiorino, D. P. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
      This paper examines several cost-effective steam conservation and boiler plant efficiency advancements that were implemented during a recently completed central steam boiler plant replacement project at a very large ...
