The Organic Rankine Cycle System, Its Application to Extract Energy From Low Temperature Waste Heat
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
The conservation of energy by its recovery from low temperature waste heat is of increasing importance in today's world energy crisis. The Organic Rankine Cycle is a cost efficient and proven method of converting low ...
Energy Conservation Options in Distillation Processes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
This paper summarizes the results of a survey of energy conservation options applicable to distillation processes. Over twenty such options were identified, and eight of these were selected for detailed presentation. These ...
Design and Economic Evaluation of Thermionic Cogeneration in a Chlorine-Caustic Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The study shows that it is feasible to equip a chlorine-caustic plant with thermionic cogeneration. Thermionic combustors replace the existing burners of the boilers used to raise steam for the evaporators, and are capable ...
Why Energy Projects Do Not Get Approved
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
We have all struggled to convince management to
pursue energy conservation alternatives using
economic arguments such as internal rates of
return, project payback, and net present value.
Some have tried life cycle ...
Industrial Heat Pumps--Types and Costs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Many potentially beneficial applications for industrial heat pumps are not being pursued because of confusion regarding both energy savings and economics. Part of this confusion stems from the variety of heat pumps available ...
Variable Flow Chilled Water Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Today, substantial savings can be achieved by converting constant flow-rate chilled water systems to variable flow-rate systems. This conversion is best suited for large, central plant chilled water systems where two or ...
Economic and Technical Tradeoffs Between Open and Closed Cycle Vapor Compression Evaporators
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Evaporators are used extensively in the chemical,
pulp and paper, food and beverage, and related
industries. Mechanical vapor recompression (MVR)
evaporators are a type using an open heat pump
cycle with steam as the ...
Economics of Steam Pressure Reduction
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Economics of Steam Pressure Reduction is a technical paper that addresses the operating and economic advantages associated with the program to lower the steam operating pressure. Evaluation of a testing program will be ...
Industrial Cogeneration Application
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Cogeneration is the sequential use of a single
fuel source to generate electrical and thermal
energy. It is not a new technology but an old,
proven one whose interest has been reawakened.
American Standard has had ...
