Converting Centrifugal Chillers to HCFC-123
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
This paper describes the effect that the issue of ozone depletion has on the owners and operators of large commercial water chillers that currently use chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) for refrigeration. The production ban of ...
EPRI Partnership for Industrial Competitiveness (EPIC): The Plant Survey Experience
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
EPRI's Partnership for Industrial Competitiveness (EPIC), comprised of over 15 EPRI member utilities, was established in 1992 to help electric utilities identify, develop, and implement competitiveness improvement opportunities ...
UV Curable Coatings in Aluminum Can Production
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
Conventional metal printing operations, utilize solvent based, or solvent-containing, ink and varnishes in conjunction with thermal curing. An alternative technology exists for printing cans which utilizes ultraviolet light ...
Overview: EPRI's Program for Process Industry Energy Efficiency and Environmental Improvement
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
Faced with increased energy and labor costs and the expense of complying with stricter environmental regulations, many U.S industries have been unable to compete effectively with lower-cost foreign imports. As these ...
Economics of Electric Compressors for Gas Transmission
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
Three new factors are coming together to motivate gas pipeline firms to consider electric motors for replacement of older reciprocating gas engines for compressor systems, and for new compressor installations. These factors ...
Recovery Boiler Modeling
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
Preliminary computations of the cold flow in a simplified geometry of a recovery boiler are presented. The computations have been carried out using a new code containing multigrid methods and segmentation techniques. This ...
Reclamation of Cleaning Water Using Ultrafiltration and Double Pass Reverse Osmosis
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
In the production of electrodeposition primers, water is used as the primary cleaning agent. The dirty water that is generated contains residual contaminants from the primer production equipment, which requires that the ...
Validating Energy Measures
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
Energy measurements play a very important role in a detailed energy analysis. The role is more important in industrial processes where wide variations of process conditions exist. Valid energy measurements make the decision ...
Sealtest Ice Cream: A Case Study in Cooperation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
This was the first large industrial program from a Northeast utility. By participating in the DSM program, Sealtest completed a $3.5 million energy efficiency project. The efficiency improvements cut energy costs by over ...
Energy Savings with Computerized Steam Trap Maintenance Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
This paper describes the efforts made at 3M Company plants to save energy in the steam distribution system by improving the maintenance of steam traps. The results from steam trap surveys for 17 facilities with over 6,400 ...
