The Role of Incentives in Promoting CHP Development
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)
Conventional wisdom suggests that financial incentives should be sufficient to spur the installation of combined heat and power (CHP) systems. However, the states with the most CHP development are often not the states with ...
Achieving Superior Plant Energy Performance Utilizing Real-time Data
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)
After years of attempting to streamline operations in an effort to reduce operational costs, many industrial manufacturers are turning to strategic energy management as a potential money-saving strategy. In their efforts, ...

The U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) has been working with industry since 1976 to encourage the development and adoption of new, energy-efficient technologies. ITP has helped industry not ...
Improving Reliability In A High Static Head System Through VFD Application
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2010)
The static head content in the total head of a pumping system (static head factor - fHS) plays an important role on energy and reliability potential gains attainable with the use of variable speed (VS) controls in pumping ...
Hydraulic Modeling And Simulation Of Pumping Systems
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2010)
New designs or modifications of existing pump facilities are required frequently in many industries due to new operating conditions, increase in product demand, pump-pipeline interaction issues, pulsation problems, net ...
Assessment Of Wear Erosion In Pump Impellers
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2010)
Wear erosion needs special attention in pump design as it can lead to severe damage of the pump and restrict its lifetime significantly. It therefore determines to a large extent the selection of a pump. During the design ...
The True Cost Of External Seal Flush (Piping Plan 32)
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2010)
Materials Selection For Seawater Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2010)
Materials used in seawater pumps depend upon many factors that include seawater quality, materials limitations and processing characteristics, as well as materials cost and availability. Many newer high alloy stainless ...
Pressurized Dual Mechanical Seals Supporting Piping Plan Developments
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2010)
The American Petroleum Institute recognizes four auxiliary piping plans for supporting pressurized dual wet mechanical seals. There is limited published information guidance as to which plan will offer the most suitable ...
