Process Cooling Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Cooling towers have been on the scene for more than 50 years. It is because they have proven to be an economic choice for waste heat dissipation. But it seems, for some reason, that after installation very little attention ...
Financial Impact of Good Condenser Vacuum in Industrial Steam Turbines: Computer Modeling Techniques
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Industrial turbine throttle conditions are fixed by plant designs - materials of construction, steam requirements, etc. Condensing turbine exhaust conditions are limited by the atmosphere to which residual heat is rejected; ...
Freeze Crystallization Processes: Efficiency by Flexibility
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Energy consumption in fractionating solutions by distillation and evaporation can be reduced by 70% to 90% by using freeze crystallization processes. The thermodynamic bases for the substantially lower energy requirements ...
Economics of Organic Rankine Cycle
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
This report determines the conditions needed
for an Organic Rankine Cycle to be economically
attractive to recover heat going to air fins or
cooling water. It includes discussion of some
installations, and the impact ...
Can Your Energy System Pass the Pressure Test?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
A good energy accounting system can be a very helpful management tool, offering flexibility to respond quickly to those factors that impact energy usage. It also has the potential of providing an early warning about problems ...
An Evaluation of Industrial Heat Pumps for Effective Low-Temperature Heat Utilization
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
The implementation of industrial heat pumps utilizing waste water from various industrial processes for the production of process steam is presented as a viable economic alternative to a conventional fossil-fired boiler ...
The Effect of Variable Quality Fuels on Cogeneration Plant Performance
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The variable energy characteristics of solid wastes,
biomass and other low grade fuels, when utilized in
cogeneration applications, introduce several additional
plant design considerations. The effects of
longer term ...
Low Temperature Heat Recovery for Boiler Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Low temperature corrosion proof heat exchangers
designed to reduce boiler flue gas temperatures to
150°F or lower are now being commercially operated
on gas, oil and coal fired boilers. These heat
exchangers, when ...
Application of Multiple-Speed and Special Motors for Energy Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
For the past several years substantial use has been made of a class of motors developed for application in driving loads which operate at multiple speed points to gain efficiency. While adjustable frequency power supplies ...
Master Control of Multiple Air Compressors
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
A single master air pressure controller for several machines can reduce air pressure variation by having a single set-point for all machines. This master control when coupled to a sequencing control package allows positively ...
