Performance of Horizontal Field Earth-Coupled Heat Pumps
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
An alternative to traditional methods of residential
heating and cooling is the heat pump. However,
heat pumps which use the outside air as a
heat source/sink become inefficient during the
periods of highest demand. Another ...
Start-Up of Air Conditioning Systems After Periods of Shutdown (Humidity Considerations)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
In many cases the single most important energy
conservation measure that can be taken is to turn
equipment off when it is not needed. In the case
of air conditioning, this generally means turning
it off when occupants leave ...
A Proposed Method for Improving Residential Heating Energy Estimates Based on Billing Data
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
Analyses o f residential energy conservation
programs frequently require reliable estimates of
program effects on space-heating energy
consumption. Simulation models are often used to
provide such estimates. Recent, ...
A Preliminary Evaluation of Alternative Liquid Desiccants for a Hybrid Desiccant Air Conditioner
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
This paper presents the results of a
preliminary investigation at The University of
Texas at Austin of alternative liquid desiccants
for use in a hybrid desiccant air-conditioning
system in which a desiccant is circulated ...
Advanced Open-Cycle Desiccant Cooling System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
The concept of staged regeneration as means of improving
the desiccant cooling system performance is the subject of investigation
in this study. In the staged regeneration, the regeneration
section of desiccant dehumidifier ...
Southern Mildew Problems: Weather and Psychrometrics
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
Mildew, a costly consequence of excessive
moisture in homes, was addressed in a survey of 560
Florida families. Sixty-five percent of the
participants reported they had problems with mildew.
Attempts were made to correlate ...
Integrated Ice Storage/Sprinkler HVAC System Sharply Cuts Energy Costs and Air-Distribution First Costs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
Integrated ice thermal storage/sprinkler
HVAC systems developed and applied by the author in
several commercial applications shift a major portion
of electric utility demand to cheaper off-peak hours,
while also reducing ...
Cooling Energy Measurements of Houses with Attics Containing Radiant Barriers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
Tests were conducted by Oak Ridge
National Laboratory (ORNL) to determine
the magnitude of the energy savings
brought about by installing radiant
barriers in the attics of single-family
houses. The radiant barrier used ...
Building Energy Use and Conservation in Cycle VIII of the Texas Institutional Conservation Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
Sixty-two technical assistance (energy audit)
reports by twelve different consulting firms representing
fifteen independent school districts, nine
hospitals, and five colleges have been reviewed to
assess energy use ...
Performance Testing of Radiant Barriers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
TVA has conducted a study to determine the
effects of radiant barriers (RBI (i.e., material
with a low emissivity surface facing an air
space), when used with fiberglass, on attic heat
transfer during summer and winter. ...
