Chemical Treatment Fosters Zero Discharge by Making Cooling Water Reusable
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
Over the past decade, the water requirements for cooling industrial manufacturing processes have changed dramatically. Once-through cooling has been largely replaced by open recirculating cooling water methods. This approach ...
An Energy Services Initiative
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
The parent company of a large electric utility has launched a new unregulated subsidiary that provides a portfolio of value-added, beyond-the-meter energy services. These services are designed to meet the specific needs ...
Applying Variable Speed Drives With Static Frequency Converters To Turbomachinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Today, the variable speed drive with AC motor and static frequency converter is an outstanding solution to control the speed of turbomachines in the power range up to 100 MW and more. A wide selection of variable speed ...
Dynamic Data Analysis Of Compressor Rotating Stall.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Techniques for rotating stall verification and analysis of detrimental effects are described. Majority of dynamic pressure data presented herein are from centrifugal compressors, including one unit that required field ...
Expander Field Remanent Life Analysis And Assessment.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
The operating temperatures of hot gas expanders can cause degradation in the material capabilities of both the rotating and stationary components. For this reason, many of the components of the expanders are life limited. ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 25th Turbomachinery Symposium
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Rotating Equipment Loss Prevention - An Insurer's Viewpoint.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
Accidents involving rotating equipment in chemical, petrochemical,
petroleum, and gas plants can result in damage to other
process equipment and catalysts along with lost production.
Conversely, process upsets, process ...
Design Considerations For Thrust Bearing Applications.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
The hydrodynamic thrust bearing load capacity-speed envelope is divided into three major regions by speed. Each region has its own set of limiting physical phenomenon that must be included in the analysis and presents a ...
Waste Management Recommendations in the Texas A&M University Industrial Assessment Center Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
The Texas A&M University Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) was one of the four Energy Analysis & Diagnostic Centers (EADC) that began providing waste management, in addition to energy and demand conservation, assessments ...
Utilities Sell Lighting, Cooling and Heating to Large Customers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
The electric utility industry is entering an era of unprecedented competition. Competition from traditional sources such as natural gas companies, customer cogeneration, and independent power producers are being joined by ...
