ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF HUMIDITY CONTROL APPROACHES IN VACANT FLORIDA HOMES
(Energy System Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
In a hot and humid climate such as Florida, “snowbirds” that leave their homes for extended summer periods need guidance on effective and energy efficient methods of humidity control. Experiments were performed in seven ...
Methodology for Residential Building Energy Simulations Implemented in the International Code Compliance Calculator (IC3)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
Since 2001, Texas has been proactive in initiating clean air and energy efficiency in building policies. The Texas Emissions Reduction Plan legislation (SB 5, 77TH Leg., 2001) mandates statewide adoption of energy codes, ...
Optimal Control in Three-deck Multi-Zone Air-Handling Units: A Case-Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
A multi-zone air-handling unit was popular several decades ago due to the convenience of small sized modular units, which were inexpensive to install and easily maintained in a mechanical room. The cost and convenience ...
Semi-Empirical Screw Compressor Chiller Model
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
A screw chiller model which is based on a first principles, semi-empirical analysis that describes the system performance based on observations of the thermodynamic processes is developed. This model is a modified method ...
Compressed Air Audits using AIRMaster
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
Air compressors are a significant industrial energy user and therefore a prime target for industrial energy audits. The project goal was to develop a software tool, AIRMaster, and supporting methodology for performing ...
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 ...
