Climate Wise Boiler and Steam Efficiency Wise Rules
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Climate Wise is an industrial energy efficiency program sponsored by the U.S. EPA, and supported by the U.S. DOE, working in partnership with more than 400 industrial companies. Many Climate Wise Partners are evaluating ...
Do Small Companies Care About Energy Savings?: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Often times small companies will ignore very obvious energy saving opportunities even if they know that correcting the problem might save them few dollars. Two cases are presented here which deals with the energy saving ...
Case Study of Stratified Chilled Water Storage Utilization for Comfort and Process Cooling in a Hot, Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The advantages of thermal storage are enhanced
in hot and humid climates. Year-round cooling
loads increase thermal storage operating cost
savings. The absence of a long winter during which
major maintenance tasks can be ...
Rehabilitating A Thermal Storage System Through Commissioning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
A thermal storage system was installed in a
37,000 ft2 hospital in April 1992. The chiller
had to be operated every summer during peak
demand periods until the authors rehabilitated
system through building commissioning ...
Instrumenting Buildings to Determine Retrofit Savings: Murphy's Law Strikes Again
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Experiences with instrumentation, installation
and maintenance of building energy metering systems
are presented. The building energy metering was
installed in a variety of locations in programs handled
by the Energy Systems ...
Development of Temperature and Humidity-Based Indicators for Diagnosing Problems in Low Tonnage, Split System Air Conditioners
(Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu)Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998)
This paper presents results of a survey of the
literature and identifies the most common degraded
conditions associated with low-tonnage air
conditioners. Other laboratory studies as well as
marketed diagnostic systems ...
Risk Assessment for Chemical Sensitivity Analysis
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
One critical area of uncertainty in toxic risk assessment studies is human dose-response relationships, particularly for acute exposures. Probit equations are lacking/questionable for many materials, and the use of ERPG ...
ISA and IEC Standards--How Are They Impacting the Process
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
At the present time, we have two approved USA National Standards on Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS); ANSI/ISA S84.01 and ANSI/ISA S91.01. In addition, there are two international standards presently under development on ...
Using Risk Mapping for Investment Decisions
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
To maximize corporate value, companies should not view environmental, health, and safety (EHS) as a cost of doing business, but as a potential source of economic value. Establishing value includes determining the risk ...
Accident History Database: An Opportunity
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1998)
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 mandated the development of regulations for the protection of workers, public, and the environment from catastrophic releases and chemical plant accidents. As a result, the US Environmental ...
