A Plastic-Core Compact Heat Exchanger for Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
This paper describes a compact, single-pass, cross-flow type, gas-to-gas heat exchanger with a polyolefin (polyethylene or polypropylene) core whose seams are welded through a proprietary process. It is constructed of ...
Avoiding and Managing Interruptions of Electric Service Under an Interruptible Contract or Tariff
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
Many large industrial consumers of electricity purchase power through special interruptible contracts or curtailable tariffs. Historically, the number of actual interruptions has been very small -many interruptible consumers ...
Condensing Heat Exchanger for Optimization of Energy Efficiency
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
Historically, boiler efficiency has been limited due to the minimum temperature allowed at the stack. Heat lost up the stack was in exchange for keeping the flue gas temperature above the water vapor dew point. If water ...
The Pumpless Alternative to Condensate Return
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
In the pumpless system we use the positive displacement concept thus eliminating the problems associated with a typical pump system.
The system uses steam or another gas as the pumping force to move the fluid from the ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
There is great interest in the large potential market for electric drives in the gas transmission, gas storage, and gas processing industries. Progressive electric utilities and astute vendors are moving to meet the needs ...
Opportunities for Energy Efficiency Improvements in Oil Production in Kansas: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
In 1993 investigators from the Center for Energy Studies at Wichita State University (WSU) and Meridian Corporation in Overland Park, Kansas began a study to investigate whether there were any technical modifications and/or ...
The Mobile Test and Demonstration Unit, A Cooperative Project Between EPRI, Utilities and Industry to Demonstrate New Water Treatment Technologies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
A mobile semitrailer was equipped with water treatment equipment to demonstrate electrotechnology based water purification methods.
The MTDU has been so far at 13 food processing sites in four states, has evaluated more ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)
The Department of Energy's (DOE) Motor Challenge program is an industry/government collaborative that is working to increase the market penetration of efficient motor-driven systems. In support of the program's Showcase ...
Making Compressed Air System Decisions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
This paper presents a decision making process that will permit the design, installation and operation of a high efficiency and reliable compressed air system.
The design of a compressed air system was formerly limited to ...
