Potential for Energy Efficient Motors and Variable Speed Drives in the Petroleum and Chemical Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
This paper presents an in-depth survey of motors in a refinery and a chemical plant. The potential for energy and demand savings is then determined and hence the dollar savings using a sliding rate structure currently ...
Bidding Opportunities for Energy Efficiency
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
With the adoption of a rule requiring electric utility solicitation for new resources, the Public Utility Commission of Texas set the stage in 1992 for demand-side bidding. Regulated electric utilities are now required to ...
A Comparative Study of Ozone and Ultraviolet Light/Hydrogen Peroxide for Decolorizing Textile Dyeing Waste Water
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
Decolorizing textile mill spent dyebath effluents with UV radiation in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (UV/peroxide) and with ozone was investigated. Direct, disperse, and acid dyes with known chemical structures were ...
Financing of Industrial Energy Efficiency Through State Energy Offices
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
The New York State Energy Office Energy Investment Loan Program has a uniquely successful track record on financing industrial energy efficiency projects. The program is conducted in cooperation with 105 financial institutions ...
Industrial DSM Programs: Low-Cost Resource and Smart Customer Service
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
Demand-side management (DSM) is a resource that helps utilities use their system more efficiently and/or postpone the need for expensive new plant construction. But demand-side management also has another function. By ...
Take Transient Startup And Shutdown Data - Rule Number One.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
The thrust herein is to encourage more people to take transient data during startups and rundowns. The common complaint is that it takes too much time and effort to prepare for this information. That argument is "weak" ...
Improving The Mechanical Reliability Of A Turbine-Compressor-Expander Used In A Nitric Acid Manufacturing Plant.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
The repair of a turbine-compressor-expander to improve its mechanical reliability is described. The machine is unique, with two open-faced centrifugal compressor impellers in the center, three steam turbine stages overhanging ...
Design and Performance Aspects of Steam Generators
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
Packaged steam generators are widely used in process and power plants. They are also used as standby boilers in cogeneration/combined cycle plants. The general feeling among consultants, plant engineers and end users is ...
Application Of High Speed And High Performance Fluid Film Bearings In Rotating Machinery.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
Some of the critical parameters in the design and application of high performance fluid film bearings are emphasized. The limitations and problems associated with high speed and highly loaded bearings will be discussed. ...
Centrifugal Compressor Application Sizing, Selection, And Modelling.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
The objective here is to build on the fan law paper presented at the Twentieth Turbomachinery Symposium [1]. The centrifugal sizing and modelling tutorial draws on the pseudo compressor stage curves presented in the fan ...
