A Comparison of Open Versus Closed Systems in Thermal Storage Applications
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
The use of thermal storage, by its very nature,
requires a large storage vessel. Depending
upon the technology employed, this can vary
from as little as 1.6cuft./ton-hour, up to
15cuft./ton-hour.
The result can be storage ...
Fundamental Desiccants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
The purpose of this paper is to familiarize the mainstream
HVAC and facility management community with the
technical concepts and emerging role of desiccant dehumidification
alternatives and various hybrids thereof. ...
Conducting Successful Programs to Increase the Energy-Efficiency of Manufactured Housing
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Nationally, about 13% of new single-family homes are
manufactured homes. In southern states, such as South
Carolina, they comprise as much as 40% of new housing.
Such manufactured homes, commonly called HUD-code
homes, are ...
Operation & Maintenance for Quality Indoor Air
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
The results of numerous Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
building investigations conducted by the Georgia Tech
Research Institute have shown that building Operation
and Maintenance (O&M) is a very common source of
IAQ problems. ...
Analysis of Texas LoanSTAR Data
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
The analysis effort during the first year of the Texas LoanSTAR
Monitoring and Analysis Program has emphasized selection and
development of baseline analysis techniques to cover the range
of buildings expected in the ...
Selecting Thermal Storage Systems for Schools
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Mesquite is a suburb located on
the east side of Dallas with a
population of approximately
120,000. The school district
covers over 60 square miles with a
student population of 25,000. The
34 schools consist of 25
elementary, ...
Thermal Storage with Conventional Cooling Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
"Thermal Storage" is a term that describes a mechanical
systems ability to sustain normal HVAC operations
through a thermal retention source. This system allows for
the curtailment of operating major refrigeration ...
Improving Gas-Fired Heat Pump Capacity and Performance by Adding a Desiccant Dehumidification Subsystem
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
This paper examines the merits of coupling a
desiccant dehumidification subsystem to a gas-engine-
driven vapor compression air conditioner.
A system is identified that uses a rotary,
silica gel, parallel-plate dehumidifier. ...
Waste to Energy and Absorption Chiller: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
All measured performance characteristics
corresponded well to manufacturer's
specifications or were within the expected range
for this type of incinerator. The simplified
economic analysis showed a payback of period ...
Indoor Air Quality Observations in Public Schools
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Investigations of indoor air qmlity or indoor
environment problems were accomplished in seven
different Texas schools. The schools were located
in hot and humid climates. Comfort and mildew were
the most frequent complaints. ...
