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 ...
Fundamental Desiccants
(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. ...
Conducting Successful Programs to Increase the Energy-Efficiency of Manufactured Housing
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Nationally, about 13% of new single-family homes are
manufactured homes. In southern states, such as South
Carolina, they comprise as much as 40% of new housing.
Such manufactured homes, commonly called HUD-code
homes, are ...
Modeling the Effects of Refrigerant Charging on Air Conditioner Performance Characteristics For Three Expansion Devices
(1990-08)
An experimental and analytical study concerned with the off-design refrigerant charging of air conditioners is presented. A series of experiments were conducted to characterize the effects of refrigerant charge and type ...
