Operation Synopsis of Gas-Fired Double-Effect Absorption Chillers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
Absorption refrigeration systems are
one of the oldest systems available. The
fundamentals of absorption refrigeration
were formulated about 1777, and the first
successful absorption machine was developed
in 1850. The first ...
Optimal Sequencing of Central Refrigeration Equipment in an Industrial Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
A model was developed to find a viable solution
to the problem of selecting the optimal sequence
of refrigeration equipment (chillers, cooling
towers, pumps) to operate in a Central Utility Plant.
The optimal equipment ...

Cooling Tower Considerations for Energy Optimizations
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
Energy conservation strategies and production
economies involve more than examining the
cooling tower fan consumption of horse power.
Colder water provides vast potentials for
savings. Ask yourself, "What is the dollar
and ...
Measurements and Comparisons of Sunlighted and North-Lighted Atriums on Two Office Buildings in Dallas, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
The use of natural light (daylighting) in the
atriums of office buildings is often done to
supplement or eliminate the artificial lighting
otherwise required. To the extent that the
daylight can be effectively admitted and ...
