    • Alternative Heat Recovery Options for Single-Stage Spray Dryers 
      Wagner, J. R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      Many powdered products are dried to their final moisture content by use of spray dryers. A basic spray dryer mixes an aqueous feedstock with heated air, vaporizing the water in the feedstock and producing the final dried ...
    • Case Studies of High Efficiency Electric Motor Applicability 
      Wagner, J. R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
      Much has been written about the advantages and disadvantages of high efficiency electric motors. For a given motor application it is possible to find literature that enables a plant engineer to make an informed choice ...
    • Case Study of Two Alternative Energy Management Systems 
      Wagner, J. R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Energy Management systems (EMS) have become increasingly popular for reducing energy consumption at commercial and industrial facilities. This paper documents the installation of his equipment in two buildings, one using ...
    • The Economics of Back-Pressure Steam Turbines 
      Wagner, J. R.; Choroszylow, E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      Recently, back-pressure steam turbines have become the focal point in many cogeneration applications. This is a result of the savings in operating costs associated with the generation of electrical or mechanical power ...
    • Hybrid Heat Pump Design and Application 
      Wagner, J. R.; Koebberman, W. F. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
      The Hybrid Heat Pump (HHP) converts industrial waste heat into process steam. Waste heat at temperatures as low as approximately 200°F can be used. Steam output covers a range between 12,000 Ib/h and 50,000 Ib/h, depending ...
    • Industrial Heat Pump Case Study 
      Wagner, J. R.; Brush, F. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
      An open-cycle heat pump was retrofitted to a single-effect, recirculating-type evaporator used for reducing the water content of whey (a liquid by-product from cheese production). The purpose of the retrofit was to reduce ...
    • Procedure for Applying an Open-Cycle Heat Pump to An Existing Evaporator 
      Wagner, J. R.; Brush, F. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      An open-cycle heat pump, or mechanical vapor compression (MVC) system, is often an attractive technique for increasing the energy efficiency of an evaporator. With proper design, an MVC system is capable of dramatic cost ...
    • Small-Scale Industrial Cogeneration: Design Using Reciprocating Engines and Absorption Chillers 
      Wagner, J. R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
      This paper describes a packaged cogeneration system designed for light industrial applications (i.e., situations where a user wants a maximum of 1 MW of cogenerated electricity). The design employs reciprocating engines ...
