Support Requirements for Synfuels
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
Producing synfuels from coal is technically feasible. Projects have a high probability of success but risks do exist (technical, marketing, environmental delays, regulatory and political changes, etc.). The various segments ...
Solar Roof Cooling by Evaporation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
It is generally recognized that as much as 60% of the air conditioning load in a building is generated by solar heat from the roof.
This paper on SOLAR ROOF COOLING BY EVAPORATION is presented in slide form, tracing the ...
Thermal Storage Systems at IBM Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
In 1979, IBM commissioned its first large scale thermal storage system with a capacity of 2.7 million gallons of chilled water and 1.2 million gallons of reclaimed, low temperature hot water. The stored cooling energy ...
General Purpose Microcomputers in Energy Management
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
The development of general purpose microcomputers has brought powerful computing capability within the price range of virtually all energy managers, regardless of the size or sophistication of their operations. This paper ...
Energy Evaluation and Management in the Industrial Setting
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
In any dynamic, quickly evolving professional specialty, such as the specialized field of energy evaluation and management, the characteristic explosion in new information, innovation, lessons learned, refinements in ...
Restoration of Refinery Heaters Using the Technique of Prefabricated Ceramic Fiber Lined Panels
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
Refinery heater fuel requirements often represent 50% of a units operating cost. A one percent change in the efficiency of a heater firing 100 MBtu/hr amounts to more than $25,000 per year. Heater efficiency is influenced ...
Conservation - The Keystone of Energy Management
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
IH, an industrial manufacturer of heavy duty capital goods, has for the past 7 years had a program of energy management. The continuing uncertainty of the energy supply situation and rapidly rising costs have been motivation ...
Application of Multivariable Control to Oil and Coal Fired Boilers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
Increased visibility provided by advanced measurement and control techniques has shown that control of oil and coal fired boilers is a complex problem involving simultaneous determination of flue gas carbon monoxide, ...
Dover Textiles - A Case History on Retrofitting Factories with a Boiler System Fueled on Coal, Wood and Waste
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
The shortage of affordable gas and oil boiler fuels and the recent Iran/Iraq war underscores the urgent need for the American industrial system to convert to domestically controlled fuels and particularly coal, wood, and ...
Industrial Waste Heat Recovery Using Heat Pipes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
For almost a decade now, heat pipes with secondary finned surfaces have been utilized in counter flow heat exchangers to recover sensible energy from industrial exhaust gases. Over 3,000 such heat exchangers are now in ...
