Energy Savings by Wideband Temperature Control in Telephone Offices
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
In 1982, 6.9 million BOE of energy costing nearly $600 million was used in approximately 16,000 Bell System Telephone equipment buildings. About 27% of that energy was used for heating, ventilating and air conditioning. ...
Steelcase Closed Loop Energy Recovery System - What We Have Learned With Our Operation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Energy cost increases, future shortages, and environmental concerns are making it less attractive to landfill our fuel concentrated wastes. Our 2,000 #/hr modular waste burning incinerator has operated since July, 1980. ...
Prospects for the Gasification of Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Fluidized-bed gasification of wood waste is now a commercially proven technology. An Omnifuel gasifier in Hearst, Ontario, has been in operation since early 1981. It produces a low-BTU gas which is used to displace natural ...
Recovering the Heat Dissipated by the Digital Switching Equipment
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
With the advent of the Digital Switching Equipment, came the need for year round cooling due to its high heat density. This meant the need for independent systems of heating and cooling within the same building, one consuming ...
Energy Conservation in the Bell System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The Bell System provides numerous examples of ways in which demand for energy may be reduced, resulting in conservation of resources and preservation of the environment.
The System's telecommunications network links ...
Energy Conservation in Existing Olefins Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The manufacture of olefins in a modern steam cracking plant consumes a great deal of energy. Depending upon the feedstock, between 6000 and 12000 BTU per pound of ethylene produced is required. In older designs, those ...
Research Needs and Priorities for Textile Process Electrification
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
There are numerous electric-based process technologies which have the potential for efficiency and productivity improvement in the textile industry. The most important of these candidate technologies were discussed by ...
Case Study of Two Alternative Energy Management Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Energy Management systems (EMS) have become increasingly popular for reducing energy consumption at commercial and industrial facilities. This paper documents the installation of his equipment in two buildings, one using ...
Electric Utility Industrial Conservation Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The Alliance to Save Energy conducted a study, funded by the John A. Hartford Foundation, of industrial and commercial electricity conservation opportunities in the service territory of Arkansas Power and Light Company ...
Unraveling the Excess Air/Coal Fineness Enigma
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
In the use of powered coal as a boiler fuel, the factors involved in heat loss from unburnt carbon in the ash are but partially understood. More finely pulverized coal particles will result in lower carbon-in-ash losses. ...
