Reducing Pump Power Consumption by 40% (1000 KW) Through Improved Pump Management in a Central Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Chilled water system data collection and field
measurements performed at the Central Utility Plant
of Texas A&M University revealed that 30 - 50 % of
the primary pump head is consumed by manual and
automatic valves being ...
Flare Noise Reduction Exxon Chemical- Baytown Olefins Plant: 1994 CMA Energy Efficiency Award for "Flare Noise Reduction" in the category of "Public Outreach/Plant Site"
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
Numerous community complaints were received because of what nearby residents perceived as excessive noise from BOP's elevated flares. Representatives from the Baytown Olefins Plant met with community residents to better ...
A Plastic-Core Compact Heat Exchanger for Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
This paper describes a compact, single-pass, cross-flow type, gas-to-gas heat exchanger with a polyolefin (polyethylene or polypropylene) core whose seams are welded through a proprietary process. It is constructed of ...
Avoiding and Managing Interruptions of Electric Service Under an Interruptible Contract or Tariff
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
Many large industrial consumers of electricity purchase power through special interruptible contracts or curtailable tariffs. Historically, the number of actual interruptions has been very small -many interruptible consumers ...
Condensing Heat Exchanger for Optimization of Energy Efficiency
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
Historically, boiler efficiency has been limited due to the minimum temperature allowed at the stack. Heat lost up the stack was in exchange for keeping the flue gas temperature above the water vapor dew point. If water ...
The Pumpless Alternative to Condensate Return
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
In the pumpless system we use the positive displacement concept thus eliminating the problems associated with a typical pump system.
The system uses steam or another gas as the pumping force to move the fluid from the ...
