Ground Loops for Heat Pumps and Refrigeration
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
Ground loops are used for water source heat
pumps. Refrigeration can be put on a ground loop.
Water-cooled condensing units are more efficient
than air-cooled, and they can be put indoors.
Indoor location makes piping for ...
Desiccant Cooling Systems - A Review
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
Desiccant cooling systems have been investigated extensively during the past decade as alternatives to electrically driven vapor compression
systems because regeneration temperatures of the
desiccant - about 160°F, can be ...
Experimental Results on Advanced Rotary Desiccant Dehumidifiers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
The Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) has
developed the Cyclic Test Facility (CTF) to develop
and validate analytical methods for evaluating and
predicting the performance of advanced rotary dehumidifiers.
This paper ...
Evaluation of a Local Air Conditioning Duty Cycling Device as a Load Management Tool
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
During the summer of 1984, a test was performed
to evaluate a local air conditioning duty cycling
device as a tool to reduce TUEC's system summer peak
demand. In addition to the local duty cycling
device, a direct load ...
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 ...
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. ...
