Industrial Heat Pumps: Appropriate Placement and Sizing Using the Grand Composite
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Correct thermodynamic placement of heat pumps
is a necessary condition for optimality. The most
sophisticated equipment designs can do very little to
improve the cost-effectiveness of inappropriately
placed heat pumps. ...
Modeling On-Site Utility Systems Using "APLUS"
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Most energy saving schemes on
industrial sites lead to reductions in
the steam and/or power demands on an
on-site utility system. Accurate
knowledge of the marginal and
incremental costs of the available
levels of ...
Impact of Utility Costs on Pinch Designs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Utility costs can have a significant impact on the optimum design of new plants and on the economic viability of energy conservation retrofits. First, an example is used to illustrate how, in some cases, slightly different ...
Correct Marginal Utility Costs Underwrite Plant Profitability
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
This article clarifies existing terminology and demonstrates via practical examples that clear understanding and correct application of the marginal utility cost concept are necessary for optimal operation of in-plant ...
Potential for Heat Pumps in the U.S. Process Industries
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Two major criteria for successful
heat pump installations in process
plants are the "appropriate placement"
and "appropriate sizing" of the heat
pump, consistent with the thermodynamics
of the process. Failure to ...
Impact of Utility Costs on the Economics of Energy Cost Reduction & Conservation Technologies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
This paper summarizes some key results obtained from an EPRI funded study the main objective of which was to investigate the principal economic and technical factors that influence the energy related investment strategy ...
Industrial Heat Pumps: Where and When
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
A brief review of the types of industrial
heat pumps is presented. General
guidelines are provided for appropriate
placement of industrial heat pumps.
Industrial applications are used as
examples to illustrate key points.
