Saving Big Bucks with Your Log Sheets
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
This paper speaks to a common problem in a lot of industrial and institutional boilerhouses. Most boilerhouses do an excellent job at collecting information. Circular chart recorders churn out pressures, temperatures, and ...
Economical Aspects of Adjustable Speed Drives in Pumping Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
Speed variations of pumps have become increasingly popular as the technology to produce variable frequency drives has progressed. Variable speed drives have many advantages compared to throttle valves when it comes to ...
Energy Efficiency in the Pulp and Paper Industry: Simulation of Steam Challenge and CHP Incentives with ITEMS
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Two programs being considered to encourage energy efficiency in industry, as possible ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, are 1) "Steam Challenge," designed to improve steam use in industrial plants, and 2) incentives ...
Understanding the Basics of Compressed Air Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
Compressed air can be a manufacturing facilities' most expensive utility. Estimates and actual measurements of compressed air systems indicate ten to thirty-five percent of all compressed air generated is lost to leakage ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
The Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) at West Virginia University has been functioning since 1992. During this time, the center has performed over 100 industrial assessments for small and medium sized manufacturing plants. ...
Automatic Tube Cleaning Systems for Condensers and Heat Exchangers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
The on-line Automatic Tube Cleaning
Systems (ATCS) for condensers and heat
exchangers provide a positive means for
automatic cleaning on a continuous
basis, while the exchanger or condenser
remains "on stream" and at ...
Beyond Back of the Envelope Savings Calculations
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
This paper presents several approaches to economically estimate energy savings of conservation measures for a variety of end-uses and industries. These approaches have been developed primarily during the evaluation of ...
New 3E Plus Computer Program- A Tool for Improving Industrial Energy Efficiency
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1997-04)
