Improvement of Furnace Efficiencies: Evaluation from Operational Data and Case Histories
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
This paper presents methods which can be used to determine heater and boiler performance from operating data. A study is presented delineating the variation of combustion efficiency with load, excess air, and stack and ...
Direct Gas Fired Air Heating For 40 to 50% Fuel Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Direct gas-fired air heating will save 40 to 50% of the gas which would otherwise be required for industrial space heating. Traditionally, industrial space heating needs have been met by using indirect gas space heaters. ...
Energy Conservation in Industrial Lighting
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
In order to reduce energy use in lighting Union Carbide recently issued drastically reduced new lighting level standards. A computerized lighting cost program was also developed. Using this program a number of additional ...
Heat Transfer Characteristics of a Generalized Divided Flow Heat Exchanger
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
The concept of a "Divided-flow" heat exchanger is generalized by locating the shell inlet (or outlet) nozzle off-center such that the two shell sub-streams are unequal and traverse unequal flow paths. The governing equations ...
Maintain Combustion Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Energy is consumed, and wasted, in liberal amounts in the combustion processes which supply heat energy to boilers and process heaters. Close attention to combustion systems can be extremely beneficial: Optimum air to fuel ...
Energy Conservation Through Industrial Cogeneration Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
This paper traces the development of cogeneration systems in industry, and discusses some early applications. The effect of changing markets and economic conditions is evaluated and specific examples are presented to ...
Retrofit Sizing and Economics of Air Preheaters and Economizers for Process Heaters and Boilers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
The conservation of energy in industrial operations is essential to meet national goals. In the short term, conservation is essentially the only option, not only to buy time to develop new reserves and alternative supplies, ...
In-Situ Thermal Conductivity Testing Using a Portable Heat Flow Meter
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
A method has been developed for measuring heat losses from insulated systems in the field. While the measurements are not as precise as those made under laboratory conditions, they are more indicative of actual in service ...
Energy Economizer for Low Temperature Stack Gas: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Bartlesville (Oklahoma) Energy Technology Center (BETC) engineers made a study of recycling waste heat from one of the Power Plant boilers. The study showed that a system could be designed that would reclaim this waste ...
The Conservation Alternative
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Of all of the issues involved in our national energy dilemma, the matter of conservation of energy has, without a doubt, received major attention. Much has been said on the subject and certainly a great deal has been written ...
