Steam Traps-The Oft Forgotten Energy Conservation Treasure
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
In these days of high technology, the steam trap is often treated as a commodity item, forgotten by many and respected by a relative few. Yet, in many facilities, widespread undetected failure of steam traps has wasted ...
Cooling Towers, Energy Conservation Machines
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
Cooling towers, in all too many industrial plants, are often the neglected units of the process chain which are hidden bonanzas for energy conservation and dollar savings. By lowering the entire systems temperature by the ...
Commercial and Industrial Energy Conservation Programs in Illinois
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
This paper presents the State of Illinois' evolving role in assisting commercial and industrial firms in identifying and improving inefficiencies in the use of energy.
Little Silver Bullets
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Energy conservation has lost much of its glamor of five years ago as many large projects and high-profile efforts have yielded important results. Panic-driven priority has been replaced by persistent needs of day-to-day ...
Conserve Energy by Optimizing Air Compressor System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
There are many opportunities to conserve energy within an Industrial Plant without adversely impacting the operation or production. Many of these represent only relatively small savings, when compared to the overall utility ...
Conservation, An In-Plant Energy Resource
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
Potential energy savings of 90 billion cubic feet of natural gas per year on existing facilities in basic steel alone are attainable through retrofitting and improvement in operations. Areas covered include reheat furnaces, ...
Foam Processing of Textiles
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Foam processing is an energy-conserving alternative to the conventional wet processing, i.e., dyeing, printing and finishing, of textiles. Where water is ordinarily used as a medium to apply dyes or chemicals to a fabric, ...
Energy Conservation in Existing Olefins Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The manufacture of olefins in a modern steam cracking plant consumes a great deal of energy. Depending upon the feedstock, between 6000 and 12000 BTU per pound of ethylene produced is required. In older designs, those ...
Merging Energy Conservation and Air Toxic Compliance for DOD Industrial Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
Many of the Department of Defense (DoD) industrial operations are being consolidated and some facilities laid away. While this process is underway, DoD has attempted to renovate the old plants with state-of-the-art ...
Conservation of Energy Through Engineered Specification and Onsite Review
(Energy System Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
There is more to conservation of energy than the thickness of insulation and the materials specified. Process temperature, environment, expected life, etc., must be considered. The dimensions of the insulation must be ...
