Savings in Steam Systems (A Case Study)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2001-05)
Armstrong Service Inc. (ASI) conducted an
engineered evaluation at an Ammonium Nitrate
Manufacturing facility during the Fall of 1999. This
plant manufactures Nitric Acid and high and low
density Ammonia Nitrate. The ...
Application of the Concept of Exergy in the Selection of a Gas-Turbine Engine for Combined-Cycle Power Plant Design
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2001-05)
It has been shown that the second-law efficiency of a gas-turbine engine may be calculated in a rational and simple manner by making use of an algebraic equation giving the exergy content of turbine exhaust as a function ...
Dealing with Uncertainties During Heat Exchanger Design
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2001-05)
Over the last thirty years much progress has been made in heat exchanger design methodology. Even so, the design engineer still has to deal with a great deal of uncertainty. Whilst the methods used to predict heat transfer ...
Barriers and Opportunities: A Review of Selected Successful Energy-Efficiency Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2001-05)
In industry, barriers may exist at various points in the decision making process, and in the implementation and management of measures to improve energy efficiency. Barriers may take many forms, and are determined by the ...
Implementing Motor Decision Plans
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2001-05)
The first step to reducing energy costs and increasing reliability in motors is to establish a motor plan. A motor plan allows decisions to be made in advance of motor failure, and increases the options available. By ...
Emerging Energy-Efficient Technologies for Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2001-05)
U.S. industry consumes approximately 37% of the nation's energy to produce 24% of the nation's GDP. Increasingly, society is confronted with the challenge of moving toward a cleaner, more sustainable path of production and ...
Case Study: Lessons Learned From Converting Electric Chillers to Steam Chillers in a Electric Deregulated Market.
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2001-05)
This paper will examine an example of converting two electric centrifugal chillers, which needed to be replaced, to use steam turbine driven centrifugal chillers at a large commercial office building consisting of approximately ...
Energy, Cost-Savings and Pollution-Reduction Impacts of Industrial Programs Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2001-05)
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT), within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, has been working with industry since 1976 to encourage the development and ...
Pump Rerates - When And How
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
During the life of a plant, there often arises a need to change a pump’s rating to match a new plant operating condition or raise the mean time between repair (MTBR) of an unreliable pump. In these cases, rerating the pump ...
Best Practices In Selecting And Applying Positive Displacement Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
Selecting a positive displacement pump is many times a confusing process. Unlike centrifugal pumps were pumping technology is familiar, positive displacement pumps operate differently than centrifugal and there is a wide ...
