Saving Energy and Reducing Emissions from the Regeneration Air System of a Butane Dehydrogenation Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Texas Petrochemicals operates a butane dehydrogenation unit producing MTBE for reformulated gasoline that was originally constructed when energy was cheap and prior to environmental regulation. The process exhausts 900,000 ...
Signatures of Heating and Cooling Energy Consumption for Typical AHUs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
An analysis is performed to investigate the
signatures of different parameters on the heating
and cooling energy consumption of typical air
handling units (AHUs). The results are presented
in graphic format. HVAC simulation ...
Screening Tool for Desiccant Dehumidification Applications
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
A state-of-the-art software tool that
calculates the benefits of desiccant-based air-treatment
equipment is described. The software, a
Desiccant Systems Application Screening Tool, is
written in the WindowsTM environment ...
Impacts of Water Loop Management on Simultaneous Heating and Cooling in Coupled Control Air Handling Units
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The impacts of the water loop management
on the heating and cooling energy consumption
are investigated by using model simulation. The
simulation results show that the total thermal
energy consumption can be increased by ...
A New Method For Secondary Containment Of Emissions From Primary Seals
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Recent industrial advances in secondary containment methods have increased the role of secondary containment systems in environmental corporate strategies aimed at lowering the risks associated with leakage from primary ...
The Use Of Wavy Face Technology In Various Gas Seal Applications
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Wavy face technology in mechanical face seals is the use of circumferential waves manufactured into a seal face. This unique wavy shape is bidirectional, can be used in liquids, gases or combination, and incorporates a ...
An Innovative Upgrade And Performance Rerate Of Large, High Speed, High Temperature, Multistage Barrel Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
High pressure hydrocracker charge is one of the most arduous services for multistage centrifugal pumps in the refining industry. Future plant capacity requirements of the hydrocracker unit at a United Kingdom site required ...
Sleeve Type Bearings And Their Lubrication Systems In Vertical Turbine Pumps, Mixed Flow And Axial Flow Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
Shafting and different sleeve type bearing systems, and the associated lubrication arrangements to support these systems in vertical diffuser type pumps, are discussed.
Analyzing Unacceptable Seal Performance
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
For many years, acceptable seal performance was defined as “minimal or no visible leakage.” During the last decade, these definitions have changed immensely as government and industry have combined in a massive effort to ...
Continuous Monitoring Of Sealless Pumps - The Next Step
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
All centrifugal sealless pumps, both canned motor and magnetic drive, should be monitored to determine mechanical condition. In sealless pumps, the pumped fluid is used as the cooling and lubricating medium for the pump ...
