Measured Effects of Retrofits - A Refrigerant Oil Additive and a Condenser Spray Device - On the Cooling Performance of a Heat Pump
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
A 15-year old, 3-ton single package air-to-air heat pump
was tested in laboratory environmental chambers
simulating indoor and outdoor conditions. After
documenting initial performance, the unit was retrofitted
with a ...
Patterns of Refrigerant Use Resulting From Regulations Designed to Protect the Environment
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The HVAC&R industry is changing
rapidly. This is response to the environmental
challenges of ozone depletion and global
warming. The contractor working in this
industry faces tough competition and increasing
technical ...
Measured Impacts of Air Conditioner Condenser Shading
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
A study has been conducted by the Florida
Solar Energy Center (FSEC) to examine if space
cooling energy savings can be achieved from shading
of residential air conditioning (AC) condenser units.
The investigation consisted ...
On Target: A Complicated and Successful Energy Retrofit Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The Lone Star Gas Corporate headquarters, in Dallas, Texas,
consists of a five building, 355,000 square foot office
complex with buildings ranging in age from 14 - 60 years
old between 20,000 - 100,000 square feet (SF), ...
Side-by-Side Testing of Commercial Office Lighting Systems: Two-lamp Fluorescent Fixtures
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Lighting systems in commercial office
buildings are primary determinants of building
energy use. In warmer climates, lighting energy use
has important implications for building cooling loads
as well as those directly ...
Results of a Field Test Using R-407C in Split System Heat Pumps
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
This paper discusses the results of a field
test to determine implications of an R-407C
replacement of R-22.
A change of refrigerants precipitates other
changes in materials, component selection, and
processing. In addition, ...
Sustainable Housing for Park Rangers in Big Bend National Park, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
A team of graduate architecture students and
faculty from the School of Architecture, at the
University of Texas at Austin, under the direction
of Associate Professor Michael Garrison, and the

Demand Controlled Ventilation for Improved Humidity Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Recently introduced technology makes it possible to
continuously monitor for humidity in numerous
building areas using a multi-point indoor air quality
(IAQ) monitoring system. The shared sensor, multiparameter
system makes ...
Solutions to Surgical Suite Temperature and Humidity Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The demand for lower air temperatures
inside the operating room (OR) has placed unrealistic
expectations upon existing cued water systems in
hospitals. Lower temperatures are required to keep
the surgical staff comfortable ...
Long Term Operation of Renewable Energy Building
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
As part of a renewable energy
project, a building was designed and
constructed to demonstrate several
renewable energy technologies at the
Wind Test Center of the Alternative
Energy Institute (AEI). The systems
are passive ...
