Commissioning and Start Up of a 110 MegaWatt Cogeneration Facility
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1988-09)
"In December of 1987, Union Carbide successfully brought on line a 110,000 KVA combined cycle cogeneration facility. The construction, commissioning and start up of this complex facility was accomplished in a remarkably ...
Metal Bellows Mechanical Face Seals For High Performance Pump Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Metal bellows seals have been steadily gaining wider acceptance in process and general industrial pump applications. This paper discusses design criteria and advantages of metal bellows seals, and attempts to define ...
New Developed Multistage Variable Speed Drive (MSVD) Of High Economy For The Speed Control Of Pumps With Power Up To 40,000 HP
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
The multistage variable drive, called MSVD, the latest development of a hydrodynamic mechanical drive system is presented. The special characteristics are high efficiency, excellent reliability, and availability, which are ...
Designing Flexible Heat Exchanger Networks
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Procedures and methods used for designing flexible heat exchanger networks are described. The general approach consists of defining the flexibility problem as a set of cases. Pinch Technology is then used to develop an ...
Alternatives to Industrial Cogeneration: A Pinch Technology Perspective
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Pinch Technology studies across a broad
spectrum of processes confirm that existing
plants typically consume 15-40% more thermal
energy than they should. Consequently, many
cogeneration schemes have been based on ...
Utility-Customer Rate Negotiations Blackmail or Compromise?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Whether you are employed by an industrial or a large
commercial establishment, you are now in a position to
negotiate the price and service level of your energy
sources. Utilities are busy designing creative methods ...
Evaluation of Advanced PSA and Oxygen Combustion System for Industrial Furnace Applications
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
The performance of a pilot scale advanced PSA
oxygen generation system and a low NOx oxygen
burner was evaluated for industrial furnace
applications. The PSA system employs a two-bed
vacuum cycle design with a capacity ...
The Pinch Explosion
(Energy System Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
A dramatic growth in the range of
applications of pinch technology has
been seen in recent years. These
include increasingly sophisticated
analysis of heat exchanger network
design problems; resiliency tests; ...
Review of Conservation Costs and Benefits: Five Years of Experience under the Northwest Power Act
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
In 1980, Congress passed the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (Public Law 96-501). In the Act, Congress mandated that conservation (i.e., improvements in energy efficiency that result in reduced ...
Utility System Simulation: A Nonlinear Approach
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Computer simulation of plant utility systems allows an
engineer to rapidly 1) analyze operation changes, 2) analyze
design changes, and 3) optimize the steam/electric system
for the lowest operating cost. MESA (Modular ...
