(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)A microcomputer-based control system utilizing a distributed intelligence architecture has been developed to control combustion in hydrocarbon fuel-fired boilers and heaters to significantly reduce fuel usage. The system ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)With today’s emphasis on efficient use and conservation of energy, selecting the correct pump for a given application requires not only a concise performance evaluation but also detailed economic analysis. A microcomputer ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)The energy use characteristics of evaporative cooling towers are of interest because, although such towers are widely used in industry, they do require a substantial amount of energy. Evaporative cooling towers are basically ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)A microcomputer program entitled REFRIG has been developed to determine the thermodynamic properties of common refrigerants and to analyze vapor-compression refrigeration cycles. This paper describes the theoretical ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)Computers have been extensively used for process control and optimization since the 1970's. Many articles have been published documenting the benefits of computer control; and in general, energy savings of 5% or greater ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)A new hybrid combustion control system has been developed which combines the functions which have traditionally been performed by separate stand-alone measurement and control instruments into one low-cost integrated system. ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)Cognizant of plant economic factors,environmental constraints, and fluctuating markets, plant managers are compelled to optimize process unit performance. In an effort to do so, it's become a common practice to supplement ...
