Insights into Industrial Energy Auditing from the EADC Program: An Academic Perspective
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Energy auditing as a tool for energy conservation is discussed using insights gained from data gathered from the DOE EADC program over a ten year period. Details about the contents of the database, procedures for it access ...
Adjustable Speed Drives in the U.S. Petroleum Refining, Petrochemical, and Chemical Industries
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
This paper describes applications and incentives for the use of variable frequency drivers (VFD) in the petroleum refining, petrochemical, and chemical industries. VFDs are a particular type of adjustable speed driver (ASD) ...
Cogeneration: An Industrial Steam and Power Option
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Industrial facilities of all sizes have the ability to reduce and better control both power and steam costs with a cogeneration system. Unlike the larger systems that sell almost all of the cogenerated power to a regulated ...
Hydrogen and Sulfur Production from Hydrogen Sulfide Wastes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
A new hydrogen sulfide waste-treatment process that uses microwave plasma-chemical technology is currently under development in the Soviet Union and in the United States. Whereas the present waste treatment process only ...
A Case History - Improved Hydraulic Design Lowers Cavitation Erosion And Vibrations Of A Water Transport Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
In this case history, the successful application of well-known tools for hydraulic design changes and cavitation erosion prediction is presented. A description of the tools can be found in many publications and will not ...
Pressure Pulsation Dampening Methods For Reciprocating Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
The safe design of piping installations for reciprocating pumps requires proper knowledge about the pump installation interaction. A compact review shows pump vibration spectra excited by the pumps and methods of numerical ...
Model Predictions And Experimental Results For The Rotordynamic Characteristics Of Leakage Flows In Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
The role played by fluid forces in determining the rotordynamic stability and characteristics of a centrifugal pump is gaining increasing attention. The present research investigates the contributions to the rotor dynamic ...
Corrosion In Pumps And Other Damage Mechanisms
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
The successful application of pumps in handling a variety of fluids depends upon knowledgeable design considerations, and the selection of the correct materials for the liquid environment. A previous tutorial “Corrosion ...
Utility and State Industrial Efficient Motors Systems Incentives Programs: Experience and Success Factors
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
This paper summarizes the results of a survey of utility and state demand-side management (DSM) programs that address efficient motor systems (EMS). The paper discusses the incentive structures in place at the state and ...
Application Of Variable Speed Electric Motors For Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1993)
Pumps operated with variable and higher speed electric motors provide numerous benefits such as greater range of flow and head, higher head from a single stage, valve elimination, and energy saving. To achieve these benefits, ...
