Oklahoma Industrial Energy Management Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
The need for sound energy management is no longer worthy of debate. Action is necessary and much is being done by U.S. industry. Unfortunately, however, the majority of the work is being done by the few large energy intensive ...
Petroleum Refinery Catalytic Reforming -- Cutting High Energy Costs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Hydrocarbon reforming involves a variety of chemical reactions at high temperatures and pressures in the presence of suitable catalysts. The conversion of naptha to high octane aromatics requires high energy to initiate ...
Development of the Reradiant Recuperator
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
This presentation covers the development of a new concept in radiation type recuperators. This new concept will increase the efficiency of standard conventional radiant recuperators and will provide increased energy savings ...
Project Proceed: A Resource for Gatekeepers of Industrial Energy Conservation Information
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Engineers and scientists in industry often work in highly specialized, formatted tasks which require a high degree of specific skills but not necessarily a wide range of scientific knowledge. A company often molds its ...
Development, Application and Performance of Venturi Register L. E. A. Burner System for Firing Oil and Gas Fuels
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
The effect of reducing excess air as a means of curtailing energy waste was recognized in Europe come twenty - five years ago. Research and development work was begun by the British Admiralty and the Associated British ...
Steam and Condensate Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
In the late 60's and early 70's oil was plentiful and steam was relatively inexpensive. The switch to low sulphur fuel oil and the oil embargo suddenly changed the picture. The cost of steam rose from about $0.50 per 1,000# ...
Improved Combustion System for Energy Conservation in Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
U.S. industry consumes approximately 40 percent of all fuel consumed by the nation. The majority of this fuel is used to generate heat for elevating temperatures of materials. The heat is generated by combustion of the ...
Improvement of Furnace Efficiencies: Evaluation from Operational Data and Case Histories
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
This paper presents methods which can be used to determine heater and boiler performance from operating data. A study is presented delineating the variation of combustion efficiency with load, excess air, and stack and ...
Direct Gas Fired Air Heating For 40 to 50% Fuel Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
Direct gas-fired air heating will save 40 to 50% of the gas which would otherwise be required for industrial space heating. Traditionally, industrial space heating needs have been met by using indirect gas space heaters. ...
Energy Conservation in Industrial Lighting
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
In order to reduce energy use in lighting Union Carbide recently issued drastically reduced new lighting level standards. A computerized lighting cost program was also developed. Using this program a number of additional ...
