Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring & Analysis Program- Characterizing Loanstar Buildings & Energy Consumption
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper presents an overview of the buildings participating in the Texas LoanSTAR program. In this paper, we categorized the buildings in terms of their number, size, percent area effected, types of buildings, types of ...
Flywheel Cooling: A Cooling Solution for Non Air-Conditioned Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
"Flywheel Cooling" utillzes the natural cooling processes of evaporation, ventilation and air circulation. These systems are providing low-cost cooling for distribution centers, warehouses, and other non air-conditioned ...
Reduced Energy and Maintenance Costs Using Polyurethane as a Replacement Roof System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Reduction in maintenance and allied costs was the number one priority when Texas A&M University first considered polyurethane foam as a replacement roof for existing buildings. An investigation revealed
that when properly ...
ACT2 Project: Measuring Energy Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Pacific Gas and Electric Company has initiated a major demonstration project to test the hypothesis that substantial energy efficiency improvements can be achieved in customer facilities at costs competitive with supply. ...
The Revised Austin Energy Code and Comparisons with the Texas State Energy Standard
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
For the past two years the City of Austin Energy Code has been under review using the State Energy Standard and ASHRAE 90.2P as models for the revised Austin Energy Code. The major changes to these documents are presented ...
Atmospheric Condensation Potential of Windows in Hot, Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
In hot, humid climates, the internal surfaces of windows in air-conditioned buildings are in contact with relatively colder air. Meanwhile, the external surfaces are exposed to hot humid atmospheric air. This hygro-thermal ...
Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring & Analysis Program- Improving the Performance of Retrofits by Providing Operator Feedback from Measured Data
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper describes how continuous monitoring and follow-up has improved the savings from energy conservation retrofits in the LoanSTAR program. It describes the importance of the feedback from the facility engineer or ...
Styrene Purification and Recovery Using Freeze Crystallization
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1992-04)
Lab tests have demonstrated the ability to separate styrene from ABS and SAN plastics wastes by cooling the waste until the styrene begins to crystallize. The same process that recovers styrene from these wastes can be ...
Benefits Of A Balanced Interference Fit Bellows Seal Design In High Temperature Corrosive Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
Metal bellows seals, originally developed for the aerospace/defense industry, are now widely accepted in the petrochemical, chemical, and general industrial markets. Metal bellows seals offer enhanced dynamic tracking of ...
Zero Emission Solutions For Mechanical Seals On Light Hydrocarbons
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
While simple mechanical seals will continue to improve in performance and be extensively used, there are occasions where zero leakage is required, and where the currently recognized option is the glandless pump, which ...
