Fan Energy Savings Decisions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Axial fans are used for thousands of industrial applications consuming millions of kilowatts daily. The decision that saves dollars is to either automatically change fan speed or change blade pitch to save up to 50 percent ...
Energy Monitoring--Objectives vs Results
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Universities, hospitals and similar
institutions, as well as manufacturers and
plants have implemented programs of
utility submetering. Submetering of
utilities is defined as the measurement of
energy at or near the ...
Energy Efficiency in Compressed Air Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)
Energy use in compressed air systems accounts for typically 10% of the total industrial electricity consumption. It also accounts for close to 99% of the CO2 footprint of an air compressor and approximately 80% of the life ...
Optimizing the Mass Flow and Temperature Difference in a Cooling System for Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
Conventional wisdom in recent times has been to raise the chilled water temperature to conserve chiller power. This is an effective and well-proven conservation strategy; however, it may be less optimal than other available ...
Process Integration: Designing for Energy, Capital and Operability
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Over the last five years, significant energy savings have been achieved by several international companies using the pinch concept for heat integration. New concepts are now being added to help the designer deal with capital ...
Variable Speed Pumping for Level Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
The purpose of this paper is to describe an application of variable speed pumping to level control of an industrial process. Topics include a comparison of the process using control valves with a variable speed system, an ...
Human-Machine Interface in Building Automation Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
With the evolution of the Building Automation System industry there has been an increasing emphasis on the development and utilization of complex energy saving and control features. The complexity of this operation has ...
Analysis of the Repair vs. Replace Decision for Small AC Motors
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
This morning in the course of my discussion, I would like to cover how we at Westvaco were handling our motor replacement decisions, how we are handling them now and how we determined the costs and benefits of such a change. ...
Geothermal Heat Pumps Produce Dramatic Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The widespread use of geothermal energy to reduce heating costs has been limited in part by the high initial cost of digging deep wells to obtain moderate temperature water (under 220 F) for direct-use industrial process ...
Energy and Demand Savings from Implementation Costs in Industrial Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
The twenty-five most frequently suggested
energy saving assessment recommendations in the
Industrial Assessment Center program national
database were examined using linear regression
techniques to correlate between ...
