Volumetric In Situ Electrical Heating: An Unexploited Electrotechnology
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
The use of electrical energy to heat
large volumes of earth in place ("in situ")
offers significant advantages over
conventional in situ heat-transfer methods.
For example, where properly applied, the
near-wellbore ...
Industrial Gases as a Vehicle for Competitiveness
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
Industrial gases are produced using
compressed air and power. Improvements
in air separation technology have
resulted in a marked decrease in the cost
of nitrogen and oxygen production. The
use of those gases in ...
Chemical Applications of Electrohydraulic Cavitation for Hazardous Waste Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
We have been investigating the fundamental
chemistry and physics underlying the application of
electrohydraulic cavitation as induced by pulsed-power
plasma discharge in water, by spark-gap
discharge in water (i.e., ...
A Comprehensive Review of the Tests Completed on the Flow Loop at the Energy Systems Laboratory (Draft)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
In 1988 the Governor's Energy Office (GEO) of Texas received approval from the U.S.
Department of Energy to establish a $98.6 million state-wide retrofit demonstration
program, the LoanSTAR (Loan to Save Taxes and ...
Calculating Energy and Demand Retrofit Savings for Stroman High School: Interim Report
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
As part of the LoanSTAR program, Stroman High School in Victoria Texas underwent
two retrofits: a) an absorption chiller was changed to an electric vapor compression
chiller, and b) an EMCS system was installed after ...
Calculating Energy and Demand Retrofit Savings for Victoria High School: Interim Report
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
As part of the LoanSTAR program, Victoria High School in Victoria, Texas underwent
two retrofits: a) an absorption chiller was changed to an electric vapor compression
chiller, and b) an EMCS system was installed after ...
Calibrating DOE-2 to Weather and Non-Weather-Dependent Loads for a Commercial Building: Data Processing Routines to Calibrate a DOE-2 Model, Volume II
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
DOE-2 yields hourly data on specific variables provided the user specifies the
HOURLY-REPORT instruction. Analyzing the simulation results with hourly data gives a more
detailed picture of how well the model is predicting ...
LoanSTAR Energy Auditing: Update and Changes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Annual savings identified by detailed LoanSTAR audits during the period January, 1989 -December, 1991 are $13.7 million with an investment cost of $46.1 million. These savings represent retrofit projects in state-owned ...
A Thermal Sensation Index for Real-Time Tuning and Energy-Optimal Control of HVAC Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
In this paper we discuss and develop a thermal comfort index that addresses the limitations of applying thermal comfort indices to control applications. The derivation closely follows the derivation of PMV, but certain ...
Data Management in the LoanSTAR Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper discusses the complexity of managing building energy usage data for many buildings. The history and methodology of data collection at the Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring and Analysis Program, a large multimillion ...
