Energy Accounting for District Heating and Cooling Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Energy accounting combines engineering science with the insights of cost accounting theory. It requires the development of routine procedures to guide the information process on its way to the final decision maker. Energy ...
The Use of Infrared Technology To Detect Heat Loss
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Infrared refers to electro magnetic energy with a wave length longer than those of visible light. Researchers developed methods to quantify, focus and form real-time images to infrared energy. This spawned the development ...
Total Energy Management in General Motors
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
This paper presents an overview of General Motors' energy management program with special emphasis on energy conservation. Included is a description of the total program organization, plant guidelines, communication and ...
Self Contained Temperature Actuated Control Valves
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
There is a virtually unlimited potential for energy conservation by utilizing self contained temperature actuated valves. As steam costs soar it becomes more and more important to conserve feed stock dollars as well as the ...
Condensate Removal by Drain Orifice
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Originally the Drain Orifice Assembly was developed to solve serious steam trap maintenance problems in Navy ship's high pressure systems. Installation was between two ANSI B16.5 Flanges. The high pressure systems operate ...
Energy Conservation Through Effective Steam Trapping
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Fuel costs are rapidly escalating. The overall efficiency of any energy utilization must be improved immediately.
Steam traps - though a hardware item which received little attention can substantially effect the overall ...
A Utility View of Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Energy conservation, as viewed by the utility companies, is of real concern due to the energy situation and recent national energy legislation. The conversion programs of the electric utilities, particularly those in the ...
HVAC Energy Recovery Design and Economic Evaluation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
ENRECO has prepared this paper on HVAC energy recovery to provide the engineer with an overview of the design engineering as well as the economic analysis considerations necessary to evaluate the potential benefits of ...
Using Signature Analysis for Maintenance Planning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Operating a plant at off-design conditions can incur many penalties, some immediate, some long range. An immediate penalty could be increased unit energy costs and possibly product quality deterioration. A long-range penalty ...
The Industrial Power Plant Management System - An Engineering Approach
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Based on energy studies in over 70 plants in the forest products industry, experience has shown that, in addition to process improvements, the most important energy conservation measures in mill power departments are:
- ...
