A Comparison of Open Versus Closed Systems in Thermal Storage Applications
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
The use of thermal storage, by its very nature,
requires a large storage vessel. Depending
upon the technology employed, this can vary
from as little as 1.6cuft./ton-hour, up to
15cuft./ton-hour.
The result can be storage ...
Energy Savings in Food Processing Dehumidification
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
Food processors have the unique
responsibility of maintaining environmental,
process and sanitation standards for government
and consumers. Usually the food plant
is a large facility with many sources of
contamination, all ...
Optimizing Electric Humidifier Operation with an Air Side Economizer
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Air side economizer cycle is a control scheme that is
often used in WAC systems to reduce cooling
energy consumption by introducing variable
quantities of ambient air into a conditioned space to
satisfy the space cooling ...
A Successful Cool Storage Rate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
Houston Lighting & Power
(HL&P) initiated design and
development of its commercial
cool storage program as part
of an integrated resource
planning process with a
targeted 225 MW of demand
reduction through DSM.
Houston's ...
Effect of Return Air Leakage on Air Conditioner Performance in Hot/Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
An experimental study was conducted to quantify the
effect of return air leakage from hot/humid attic
spaces on the performance of a residential air
conditioner. Tests were conducted in psychrometric
facilities where ...
Feasibility of Municipal Water Mains as Heat Sink for Residential Air-Conditioning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
It has been proposed that municipal
water mains be used as the heat sink or the heat
source for air-conditioning or heating,
respectively. This paper addresses the extent of
thermal contamination associated with the use
of ...
Case Study Walnut Hill United Methodist Church - Dallas, Texas, Chiller Replacement Analysis
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
In March of 1992 Walnut Hill United
Methodist Church in Dallas, Tx. decided
that their existing thermal storage and
electric reciprocating chiller system were
both in need of replacement. After
analyzing several options, ...
Alternate Air Delivery Systems for Hot and Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Carter & Burgess first began using triple deck
multi-zone units, in place of traditional VAV
systems, on the Texas State Capitol restoration.
Since the completion of that project design in early
1991, our firm has now used ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
The purpose of this paper is to familiarize the mainstream
HVAC and facility management community with the
technical concepts and emerging role of desiccant dehumidification
alternatives and various hybrids thereof. ...
Load Management DSM: Past, Present & Future
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
Load Management has grown in acceptance
over the past several decades as a reliable
means to provide a demand-side resource of
demand capacity. This paper first reviews
the significant break-throughs of load
management ...
