    • Cycling Losses During Screw Air Compressor Operation 
      Maxwell, J. B.; Wheeler, G.; Bushnell, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
      Air compressors use 10-13 % of a typical industrial facilities' total electricity. Because they often operate at part load, their part load efficiency significantly affects plant energy cost. An intensive study of screw ...
    • How to Avoid Overestimating Variable Speed Drive Savings 
      Maxwell, J. B. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2005)
