A Practical Approach to Process Analysis and Improvement for Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
A practical approach to process analysis and improvement for energy conservation has been developed by establishing the required technical basis, which arises from the first and the second laws of thermodynamics. As the ...
Sensitivity Analysis of Factors Effecting the Financial Viability of Cogeneration Projects
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Cogeneration represents an alternative available for industry to take advantage of energy conservation through simultaneous generation of thermal energy and electricity. A positive regulatory climate can further contribute ...
Selecting Financing Strategies to Overcome Corporate Barriers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
If energy conservation is such a good idea, why are we still having conferences to discuss ways to conserve? Why isn't every industrial building in America retrofit and the issue resolved? The list of answers to that ...
Proper Design Saves Energy for Molecular Sieve Dehydration Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
The molecular sieve system is a significant energy user in the cryogenic gas plant. Designing and operating the system properly can save thousands of dollars in fuel each year. A poorly designed energy saving system can ...
Energy Guideline Factors Provide a Better Measure of Refinery Energy Performance
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
Exxon Company, U.S.A. refineries reduced energy consumption by 25% between 1972 and 1978 compared with an 18% reduction for the U.S. Petroleum Refining Industry over the same period. The Exxon approach to conserving energy ...
Industrial Energy Conservation Potentials in North Carolina
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
The energy crisis has been of concern
to us all since the early seventies, yet
energy inefficiency in many industrial
operations is still very common. Although
some manufacturers are aware of energy cost
saving ...
Steam Trap Management
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
A medium-sized plant of a high technology company is reaping the benefits of a Pro-active Steam Trap Program provided by Yarway's TECH/SERV Division. Initial work began March '84 and the most recent steam trap feasibility ...
Flow Metering and Oxygen Trim Control Reduce Dairy Steam Plant Fuel Costs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Milk processing in a dairy is a very energy intensive task requiring large amounts of energy to heat and cool the product. Since profit margins are small and energy costs represent such a large part of product cost it is ...
Thermodynamic Analysis for Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
This paper describes a methodology for performing a thermodynamic analysis of a process, and it demonstrates how such a study can be useful in identifying areas in the process with the greatest potential for improvement ...
Burner Designs and Controls for Variable Air Preheat Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
This paper will deal with various ways of reducing fuel costs for direct fired furnaces. Burner design relating to existing furnaces, new furnaces designed to operate initially on cold air with the ability to add preheated ...
