    • Application and Technology Requirements for Heat Pumps at the Process Industries 
      Priebe, S.; Chappell, R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
      There are basically three categories of equipment used to manage heat energy flows in an industrial process. First, heat exchangers are used to move heat through the process down the temperature gradient. Second, heat ...
    • Development Requirements for Advanced Industrial Heat Pumps 
      Chappell, R. N.; Priebe, S. J.; Bliem, C. J.; Mills, J. I. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
      DOE is attempting to advance the use of heat pumps to save energy in industrial processes. The approach has emphasized developing better heat pump technology and transferring that technology to the private sector. DOE ...
    • An Evaluation of Industrial Heat Pumps for Effective Low-Temperature Heat Utilization 
      Leibowitz, H. M.; Colosimo, D. D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
      The implementation of industrial heat pumps utilizing waste water from various industrial processes for the production of process steam is presented as a viable economic alternative to a conventional fossil-fired boiler ...
    • Geothermal Heat Pumps Produce Dramatic Savings 
      Niess, R. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      The widespread use of geothermal energy to reduce heating costs has been limited in part by the high initial cost of digging deep wells to obtain moderate temperature water (under 220 F) for direct-use industrial process ...
    • Industrial Heat Pumps Using Solid/Vapor Working Fluids 
      Rockenfeller, U. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      Industrial heat pumps have the potential to reduce the operating costs of chemical and heat treating processes in the chemical, petroleum, paper, dairy, and many other industries. The cost development of fossil fuel ...
    • Industrial Heat Pumps--Types and Costs 
      Chappell, R. N.; Bliem, C. J.; Mills, J. I.; Demuth, O. J.; Plaster, D. S. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
      Many potentially beneficial applications for industrial heat pumps are not being pursued because of confusion regarding both energy savings and economics. Part of this confusion stems from the variety of heat pumps available ...
    • Industrial Heat Pumps: Where and When 
      Ranade, S. M.; Chao, Y. T. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
      A brief review of the types of industrial heat pumps is presented. General guidelines are provided for appropriate placement of industrial heat pumps. Industrial applications are used as examples to illustrate key points.
    • Potential for Heat Pumps in the U.S. Process Industries 
      Rossiter, A. P.; Seetharam, R. V.; Ranade, S. M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
      Two major criteria for successful heat pump installations in process plants are the "appropriate placement" and "appropriate sizing" of the heat pump, consistent with the thermodynamics of the process. Failure to ...
    • Process Integration of Industrial Heat Pumps 
      Priebe, S. J.; Chappell, R. N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      The integration of heat pumps into industrial processes shows potential for energy savings. Heat pumps must, however, be integrated properly relative to the process pinch and the unit operations in the process. The ...
    • The Role of the Consultant in Marketing Industrial Heat Pumps 
      Gilbert, J. S.; Niess, R. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
      This paper explores the role that a consultant can play in the acceptance of applied heat pumps by industry (the key word is "industry"). Unfortunately, there are very few engineers in practice today with expertise in ...
