Improved Audit Implementation Through Programmed Report Delivery
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
Studies of energy audit recommendations have identified four primary barriers to implementation, perceived process interference, finances, organizational changes, and knowledge limitations leading to a bias against innovative ...
Optimization of Industrial Refrigeration Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
A computer program designed to optimize the size of an evaporative condenser in a two-stage industrial refrigeration plant was created. The program sizes both the high-stage and low-stage compressors and an evaporative ...
Design Concepts for Power Distribution Equipment Serving Non-Linear Loads
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
This paper explores the effects of power system harmonics induced by non-sinusoidal loads on electrical distribution equipment. The first portion examines the harmonic phenomenon to more fully understand harmonic current ...
The Effects Of Valve Dynamics On Reciprocating Pump Reliability
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
Compared to leading edge technologies such as high speed turbomachinery, reciprocating pumps may appear to be a simple technology: A reciprocating plunger causes liquid to be drawn from a low pressure manifold through the ...
Design And Testing Of Dual Seal Series Arrangements For Pressurized Barrier Fluid
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
Dual mechanical seals are operated on pressurized barrier fluid systems when the pump product properties do not support reliable single seal operation. This provides added protection against environmental release of the ...
Diaphragm Development Trends For Safe Leak Free Reciprocating Process Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
The application of diaphragm pumps for metering and conveying the fluids are continuously expanding because they provide zero-leakage, can run dry, have superior efficiency, offer high reliability, maximize safety and ...
Dual Gas Sealing Technology For Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
Dual gas seals are gaining acceptance by industrial users as a product that offers advantages over conventional liquid lubricated seals. These advantages are measured in terms of controlling emissions, minimizing product ...
Dry Running Bellows Type Tandem Seals For VOC Services
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
Dry running bellows seal technology, where the secondary (outer) seal operates in a dry condition, was originally developed in the UK and Europe for protection against primary seal failure. Over the past three years, it ...
Speed Control in Industrial Refrigeration: Theory, Application & Case Studies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
It is often standard practice in the field of industrial refrigeration to design and operate systems with little regard toward part-load performance. This approach is understandable, whether viewed from the standpoint of ...
Waste Management Trends in Texas Industrial Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
The Industrial Assessment Center at Texas A&M University has performed several waste and energy minimization surveys in small- and medium- sized industrial manufacturing plants in Texas. During these surveys, Industrial ...
