      GTE Products Corporation has developed a compact ceramic cross flow recuperator for high temperature industrial heat recovery applications. They recently completed a jointly funded project with the DOE, (Contract #EX-76-C-0 ...
    • The Cost of Heat Exchanger Fouling in the U. S. Industries 
      Rebello, W. J.; Richlen, S. L.; Childs, F. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
      Fouling of heat exchangers costs the U.S. industries hundreds of millions of dollars every year in increased equipment costs, maintenance costs, energy losses and losses in production. The designer of heat exchangers ...
    • A Cross-Flow Ceramic Heat Recuperator for Industrial Heat Recovery 
      Gonzalez, J. M.; Cleveland, J. J.; Kohnken, K. H.; Rebello, W. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
      With increasing fuel costs, the efficient use of fuel is very important to the U.S. process heat industries. Increase in fuel usage efficiency can be obtained by transferring the waste exhaust heat to the cold combustion ...
    • Estimation of Fuel Savings by Recuperation of Furnace Exhausts to Preheat Combustion Air 
      Rebello, W. J.; Kohnken, K. H.; Phipps, H. R., Jr. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
      The recovery of waste energy in furnace exhaust gases is gaining in importance as fuel costs continue to escalate. Installation of a recuperator in the furnace exhaust stream to preheat the combustion air can result in ...
    • An Evaluation of the Impact of Surface Coatings on the Heat Transfer in High Temperature Ceramic Recuperators 
      Guerrero, P. S.; Rebello, W. J.; Federer, J. I. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
      Engineering ceramics, particularly silicon carbide (SiC), are increasingly being used as materials in high temperature recuperators for preheating combustion air from furnace exhaust gases. As typical flue gases from ...
    • Furnace Controls Using High Temperature Preheated Combustion Air 
      Gonzales, J. M.; Rebello, W. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
      GTE Products Corporation (Towanda) has developed a compact cross flow recuperator for high temperature industrial heat recovery applications. During the development of the ceramic recuperator, GTE interfaced with major ...
    • The GTE Ceramic Recuperator for High Temperature Waste Heat Recovery 
      Dorazio, R. E.; Gonzalez, J. M.; Ferri, J. L.; Rebello, W. J.; Ally, M. R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      GTE Products Corporation has developed a high temperature compact cross-flow ceramic recuperator that is capable of recovering energy from relatively clean furnace exhaust gases at temperatures up to 2500 F by preheating ...
    • The Impact of Heat Transfer Enhancement Techniques on Energy Savings in the U.S. Industry 
      Rebello, W. J.; Peterson, G. R.; Sohal, M. (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 ...
    • Metal Hydride Chemical Heat Pumps for Industrial Use 
      Ally, M. R.; Rebello, W. J.; Rosso, M. J., Jr. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      Hydriding alloys are intermetallic absorbent compounds which have the remarkable quality of absorbing very large quantities of hydrogen gas per unit volume of metallic powder. The absorption and desorption of hydrogen are ...
