Report of Energy Efficiency Study and Metering/Utilities Profile for Electricity Deregulation at Texas A&M University – Commerce (TAMU–C) Commerce, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University, 1999)
The energy costs for TAMU-Commerce are very high when compared to most of the other universities in the TAMUs. For example, the price of $1.6 per square foot per year for utilities is nearly twice that of the Kingsville ...
Report of Energy Efficiency Study and Metering/Utilities Profile for Electricity Deregulation at Texas A&M University – Texarkana (TAMU–T) Texarkana, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University, 1999)
The physical plant director at Texas A&M University - Texarkana (TAMU-T) does a very good job of maintaining TAMU-T facilities and keeping expenses down. During our visit, however, we were able to identify several opportunities ...
Compilation of Diversity Factors and Schedules for Energy and Cooling Load Calculations, ASHRAE Research Project 1093, Preliminary Report, Literature Review and Database Search
(Energy Systems Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 1999-05)
In this report, the first report for the ASHRAE 1093-RP project, we present: (1) our
extended literature search of methods used to derive load shapes and diversity factors in the U.S.
and Europe, (2) a survey of available ...
Role of viscosity in the accurate prediction of source-terms for high molecular weight substances
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This study shows that using better material property predictions results in better source-term modeling for high molecular weight substances. Viscosity, density, and enthalpy are used as a function of process variables, ...
Improve Industrial Temperature Measurement Precision for Cost-Effective Energy Usage
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
Temperature measurement and energy efficiencies have always been tightly interrelated. Recent years have seen substantial advancements in the ability to make industrial temperature measurements with absolute accuracy. This ...
Do VFD Energy Savings Outweigh Potential Mechanical Problems?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
The use of Variable Frequency Drives (VFD's) for controlling rotating machinery has become relatively commonplace over the past ten to fifteen years. This sudden increase can be attributed to considerable strides in the ...
Energy and Reliability Considerations For Adjustable Speed Driven Pumps
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
Centrifugal devices such as pumps, fans, and compressors follow a general set of speed affinity laws:
Q2= Q1*(N2/N1) [Equation 1]; H2=H1*(N2/N1)2 [Equation2]; P2=P1*(N2/N1)3 [Equation 3]
where Q= flow rate, N = speed, ...
Following Where the Steam Goes: Industry's Business Opportunity
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
Many associated benefits accrue from plant projects which comprehensively address steam systems. The DOE-Alliance to Save Energy Steam Challenge program was initiated shortly after last year's IETC on April 30, 1998 to ...
Process Considerations in Surface Condenser Design
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
Condenser Design engineers and process engineers need to work closely together if efficient designs are to be made. This paper examines the importance of such interactions and outlines how it can be achieved.
CHP Supported with Energy Efficiency Measures -- A Winning and Environmentally Sound Solution in Finland
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1999-05)
"In the European Union Energy Programmes, one of the most significant measures in reducing carbon dioxides and other emissions is to build additional CHP technology. This will be implemented with measures to raise the ...
