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 ...
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 ...
Conversion of Waste Biomass into Useful Products
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Waste biomass includes municipal solid waste (MSW), municipal sewage sludge (SS), industrial biosludge, manure, and agricultural residues. When treated with lime, biomass is highly digestible by a mixed culture of acid-forming ...
Climate Change Concerns and the Likely Impacts on Industrial Energy R&D
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Last December, US negotiators agreed to commit the U.S. to a binding target of reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 30% below business-as-usual (BAU) projections by 1990. Since
U.S. Industry is responsible for ...
Broad Initiatives/Sharp Focus- Cuts Electricity Consumption 15%
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Analysis of electrical consumption can payout in reduced energy costs. Continuous monitoring of electrical usage coupled with improvements and optimization in system(s) operations can have a favorable impact on annual ...
Application Of A Heat Barrier Sleeve To Prevent Synchronous Rotor Instability.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
This paper explains how synchronous rotor instability can occur
in high speed turbomachinery due to differential heating of bearing
journals. Theoretical investigations have indicated that rotors
supported by fluid-film ...
High Speed Oil-Free Turbomachinery String.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
This paper is a discussion of the design, manufacture, test, and
field operation of a totally oil-free string of rotating equipment. The
turbomachinery string consists of a multistage centrifugal
compressor driven by a ...
Vibration And Eccentricity Measurements Combined With Rotordynamic Analyses On A Six Bearing Turbine Generator.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
This lecture discusses how the vibration characteristics and
eccentricity measurements were combined with rotordynamic
analyses to help improve the reliability of a turbine generator unit.
It also explains certain ...
Design Modifications And Active Balancing On An Integrally Forged Steam Turbine Rotor To Solve Serious Reliability Problems.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
This paper describes the design modifications and active
balancing on a 19,000 hp integrally forged steam turbine rotor to
improve its dynamic characteristics and reliability. The turbine was
purchased as a replacement ...
Starter Motor Sizing For Large Gas Turbine (Single-Shaft) Driven LNG Strings.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
The purpose of this paper is to describe how computer
simulation was used to size the main starter motors for single shaft
gas turbine driven compressor strings used in a large LNG plant.
The paper describes how the ...
