Revamp/Re-Rate Design Considerations
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
This tutorial paper describes the mechanical and aerodynamic factors that must be considered when revamping, re-rating or upgrading a centrifugal compressor. The possible motivations for choosing to revamp existing ...
Shop Rotordynamic Testing - Options, Objectives, Benefits and Practices
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Understanding the lateral rotordynamic behavior is critical in determining the reliability/operability of rotating equipment. Whether examining a centrifugal pump or compressor, steam or gas turbine, motor or generator, ...
Estimation of Annual Reductions of NOx Emissions in ERCOT for the HB3693 Electricity Savings Goals
(2008-12)
Increasing the level of energy efficiency in Texas, as proposed by House Bill 3693, an Act
related to energy demand, energy load, energy efficiency incentives, energy programs and
energy performance measures, would reduce ...
Master Plan and Energy Audits at a Large Texas Medical Campus
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
Energy Engineering Associates, Inc. was engaged by the Facilities Resource Management Department at a large medical center in Houston, TX to assist with the development of an Energy Management Master Plan and subsequent ...
CO2 Corrosion on Natural Gas Compressors: Criteria and Guidelines
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)
Liquid water and CO2 can easily lead to carbon steel corrosion, especially at high pressures. Corrosion can happen either during normal running or during pressurized standstill conditions. The present paper describes three ...
Case Studies in Using Whole Building Interval Data to Determine Annualized Electrical Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
Whole building interval analysis to determine savings from energy reduction measures is addressed in several guidelines. The whole building method has typically focused on measured savings where baseline regression models ...
Below Canopy Meteorological Measurements at Three Florida Sites with Varying Tree Cover and Development
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Residential demand for air conditioning is
strongly impacted by the surrounding ambient air
temperature. Research over several decades has documented
the progressive impact of urban heat islands
on summer temperatures in ...
Methodology to Calculate NOx Emissions Reductions from the Implementation of the 2000 IECC/IRC Conservation Code in Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
Four areas in Texas have been designated
by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) as non-attainment areas because
ozone levels exceed the National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (NAAQS) maximum allowable
limits. ...
NOx Emissions Reduction from Continuous Commissioning(R) Measures for the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-09)
Analysis of Emissions Calculators for a National Center of Excellence on Displaced Emissions Reductions (CEDER)
(2008-07-18)
In August 2004, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued guidance on quantifying the air emissions benefits from electric sector energy efficiency and renewable energy. Because there was no clear best strategy, ...
