Small-Scale Industrial Cogeneration: Design Using Reciprocating Engines and Absorption Chillers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
This paper describes a packaged cogeneration system
designed for light industrial applications (i.e.,
situations where a user wants a maximum of 1 MW of
cogenerated electricity). The design employs reciprocating
engines ...
Hybrid Heat Pump Design and Application
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The Hybrid Heat Pump (HHP) converts industrial waste heat into process steam. Waste heat at temperatures as low as approximately 200°F can be used. Steam output covers a range between 12,000 Ib/h and 50,000 Ib/h, depending ...
Obstacles and Opportunity: Overcoming Barriers in Today's CHP Marketplace
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)
Combined heat and power (CHP), which can offer tremendous efficiency benefits to industrial facilities around the country, continues to be viewed as a long-term efficiency opportunity. However, the high up-front cost of ...
Distributed Wind - Economical, Clean Energy for Industrial Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)
Distributed wind energy works for industrial clients. Corporations and other organizations are choosing to add Distributed Wind energy to their corporate goals for a numerous reasons: economic, environmental, marketing, ...
Using and Measuring the Combined Heat and Power Advantage
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)
Combined Heat and Power (CHP), also known as cogeneration, refers to the integration of thermal energy with power generation. CHP is a powerful energy conservation measure that has been identified as an important greenhouse ...
Energy Conservation Through Use of Boiler Economizers (Economic and Practical Considerations)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
One of the most productive means of obtaining conservation of energy lies in the improvement of the fuel-to-steam efficiency of high pressure steam generating boilers. Boilers operating at steam pressures of 100 psig and ...
Design Considerations for Large Industrial Cogeneration Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Cogeneration systems have been contributing to the profitability of many industrial plants for years. However, with the renewed interest in energy and conservation as the cornerstone of the National Energy Act, it is ...
Economics of Energy Metering
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Over the past 10 years energy costs at Union Carbide's Texas City Plant have risen tremendously. Most of this increase can be related to the rapid escalation in fuel prices. Because of the large cost increases and impact ...
Heat Pump Strategies and Payoffs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
After evaluating numerous waste heat sources and heat pump designs for energy recovery, we have become aware that a great deal of confusion exists about the economics of heat pumps. The purpose of this article is to present ...
An Energy Self-Sufficient Sawmill
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
This paper investigates the feasibility of converting sawmill wood by-products (biomass) into useful and marketable energy forms such as low pressure steam and electricity. It is based on the principle of energy cascading, ...
