Effects of Radiant Barrier Systems on Ventilated Attics in a Hot and Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Results of side-by-side radiant barrier experiments using two identical 144 ft2 (nominal) test houses are presented. The test houses responded very similarly to weather variations prior to the retrofit. The temperatures ...
Effect of Radiant Barrier Technology on Summer Attic Heat Load in South Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
The objective of the study was to experimentally
evaluate the performance of radiant barriers in
single-family occupied housing units in South
Texas. Ceiling heat fluxes, attic air temperatures,
indoor air temperatures, ...
Modification and Validation of a Universal Thermodynamic Chiller Model Used to Evaluate the Performance of Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chillers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
This paper presents modifications made to the
procedure used to develop a universal
thermodynamic model of chillers (Gordon and Ng,
1995). The modifications were necessary to capture
physical phenomena involved when water ...
Economic Evaluation of Insulation/Radiant Barrier Systems for the State of Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
This paper presents simulated performance of
insulation/radiant barrier systems under different
Texas climates. A transient heat and mass transfer
model which predicts thermal performance of
residential attics (Medina, ...
Impact of the Texas A&M University- Kingsville's Industrial Assessment Center in South Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
An Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) was established at Texas A&M University-Kingsville in November 1993 by the U. S. Department of Energy. The Center is managed by the University City Science Center, located in Philadelphia, ...
Predicting Improved Chiller Performance Through Thermodynamic Modeling
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
This paper presents two case studies in which thermodynamic modeling was used to predict improved chiller performance. The model predicted the performance (COP and total energy consumption) of water-cooled centrifugal ...
Development of a Transient Heat and Mass Transfer Model of Residential Attics to Predict Energy Savings Produced by the Use of Radiant Barriers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1992-12)
A transient heat and mass transfer model was developed to predict ceiling heat gain/loss through the attic space in residences and to accurately estimate savings in cooling and heating loads produced by the use of radiant ...
Radiant Barrier Performance during the Heating Season
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Results of winter experiments conducted in Central Texas are presented. The experiments were side-by-side tests using two identical 144 ft2 houses which responded similarly to weather variations prior to any retrofits. Two ...
First Year Analysis of Industrial Energy Conservation/Management of the Texas A&M University- Kingsville Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
An Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center was established at Texas A&M University-Kingsville (formerly Texas A&I University) in November 1993 by the U.S. Department of Energy. The Center is managed by the University City ...
