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 ...
Solid-Vapor Sorption Refrigeration Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
Complex compound sorption reactions
are ideally suited for use in refrigeration
cycles as an economically viable
alternative to CFC refrigerants. Complex
compound refrigeration provides a number of
energy-saving ...
Automatic Tube Cleaning Systems for Condensers and Heat Exchangers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
The on-line Automatic Tube Cleaning
Systems (ATCS) for condensers and heat
exchangers provide a positive means for
automatic cleaning on a continuous
basis, while the exchanger or condenser
remains "on stream" and at ...
Optimum Temperature Difference and Pressure Drop in Heat Exchangers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
Most processing is thermal. Reaction systems and separation systems are typically dominated by their associated heat exchange. Optimization of this heat exchange has a tremendous leverage on the ultimate process efficiency. ...
An Evaluation of Thermal Storage at Two Industrial Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
Thermal storage offers substantial energy cost savings potential in situations with favorable electrical rates and significant cooling demand. Full storage is usually restricted to facilities occupied only part of the day, ...
Optimizing Cooling Tower Performance Refrigeration Systems, Chemical Plants, and Power Plants All Have A Resource Quietly Awaiting Exploitation-Cold Water!!
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
Cooling towers, because of their seeming simplicity, are usually orphans of the facilities operation. We are all aware that cooling towers are the step-children of the chemical process plant, electric power generating ...
Separations-Energy-Environment, A Dynamic Relationship
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
Energy and pollution of the environment (and its
control) relate to each other in different ways and at
different levels. The relationship between energy flows and
pollution generation or control can be formalized at ...
Treatment of Organic-Contaminated Wastewater by Pervaporation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
The removal and recovery of organic contaminants from
aqueous streams by pervaporation membrane systems is a viable
and economical treatment for many waste streams. Specific
opportunities for the technology are identified ...
Development of Inexpensive Turbo Compressor/Expanders for Industrial Use
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
Use of Turbo Compressor/ Expanders
(TCEs) as industrial reversed Brayton Cycle
Heat Pumps offers many technical and energy
saving advantages. Until recently, such
devices have been far too expensive in both
capital ...
Cooling Tower Energy Conservation Through Hydraulic Fan Drives
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1991-06)
Many companies offer gearboxes, shafts, and couplings for cooling tower fan drives, with little or no innovation. These companies have traditionally been purchased with an emphasis on cost and not "Return on Investment!" ...
