The Use of Density Meters and Microprocessors for Energy Measurement and Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
ANSI/API 2530 shows how natural gas volume and weight flow rates may be calculated from the differential pressure across an in-line orifice plate. AGA Report No.5 uses these equations and known relationships between specific ...
Fuel Cost Savings Through Computer Control of a Boiler Complex - - Two Case Histories
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
This paper discusses the growing need for energy efficiency in industry and describes a new, packaged approach to fuel optimization through direct digital control and accurate in-stack measurement of combustion products. ...
Thermography for Preventive Maintenance and Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
With fuel prices soaring, more and more companies are looking at energy management as a means to curb energy costs. Let's face it, our energy supply picture is improving but new energy will be expensive. Conservation, ...
Energy Management at Deere & Company
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Deere & Company appreciates the opportunity to discuss energy management and conservation with you. Energy is a topic that will occupy our thoughts for many years to come and certainly will be in the forefront in the near ...
Computerized Reporting of Energy Conservation Progress
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Reporting of energy conservation progress, particularly by companies with a multiplicity of Plants and products, can be facilitated by application of data processing systems. Experience with the development and use of a ...
Design And Full Load Testing Of A High Pressure Centrifugal Natural Gas Injection Compressor
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1979)
This paper discusses the design of a high pressure reinjection centrifugal compressor. This compressor was tested in the manufacturer’s shop under full load to simulate the field operating conditions in terms of inlet/discharge ...
Design, Performance And Operational Characteristics Of A 6500 Horsepower High Performance Industrial Gas Turbine
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1979)
This paper will describe the 570-K high performance industrial gas turbine and provide technical rationale for the design approach and performance limits. Construction details are discussed, including assembly of major ...
Fatigue Failures Of Compressor Impellers And Resonance Excitation Testing
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1979)
The similarity of failures of impellers in centrifugal compressors soon after initial startup and failures of impellers in other compressors after about seven years of successful operation and the test programs to define ...
Centrifugal Compressor Labyrinth Seal Systems
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1979)
For years, labyrinth shaft-end seals have been used for centrifugal compressors handling air and nonhazardous gases, and for low suction pressure compressors in hydrocarbon service. To prevent gas leakage from the hydrocarbon ...
Infrared Inspection Techniques
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Infrared scanning equipment has been used at Amoco's Texas City refinery since 1971 as an inspection tool. A camera scans the field of view and focuses the infrared radiation on a detector which converts the infrared signal ...
