Compressed Air Audits using AIRMaster
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
Air compressors are a significant industrial energy user and therefore a prime target for industrial energy audits. The project goal was to develop a software tool, AIRMaster, and supporting methodology for performing ...
Retrofit for Plastic Resin Driers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
Plastic resins used in injection molding have to be
dried to specified levels prior to feeding them to the
molding machines. Excess moisture if present could cause
damage to the injection nozzle and also could cause ...
