Energy Use and Savings in the Canadian Industrial Sector
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
The changing role of energy as a production input in the industrial sector in Canada is examined. Energy use patterns are reviewed in terms of the energy input types, both purchased and self-produced, the actual energy ...
Energy Savings Accomplished by Replacing Steam Ejectors with Electric Driven Vacuum Pumps in Crude Distillation Vacuum Towers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
The low cost of steam combined with the maintenance free operation of steam ejectors has assured their unquestioned use in providing the necessary vacuum for crude distillation vacuum towers. However, the cost of steam ...
Retrofits: A Means for Reducing Energy Consumption in Ammonia Manufacture
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
The manufacture of ammonia is an energy intensive process. Existing large scale plants typically require 33-40 MM BTU (LHV)/ST as energy input. New plant designs can achieve energy levels below 27 MM BTU (LHV)/ST. Therefore, ...
Recirculation of In-Plant Air at General Motors
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The cost of doing business has been increasing at an alarming rate, especially energy-related costs. GM's yearly energy costs have surpassed the one billion dollar mark and are well on their way toward the two billion ...
Recirculation of Factory Heat and Air to Reduce Energy Consumption
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Two methods for achieving substantial energy savings through recirculation techniques are discussed:
1. Air cleaning methods that can be used to recover the energy content of previously-exhausted ventilation air in many ...
