(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)Recuperators are very useful heat exchangers that recover waste heat from products of combustion (poc) in a furnace stack and give them back to the heating operation in the form of preheated combustion air for the burners. ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)The turbomachinery used by utilities and industrial plants represent the highest level of aerodynamic design and engineering. It is critical that airfoils and other gas or steam path components maintain their shape and ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2007)Measuring performance parameters (flow rate, pressures, and power) for existing systems is essential to understanding how both the pump(s) and system are actually performing. Examples of reasons why actual measurements are ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1995-04)In the pumpless system we use the positive displacement concept thus eliminating the problems associated with a typical pump system. The system uses steam or another gas as the pumping force to move the fluid from the ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)In early 1989, Central Power and Light Company received a request from the Coastal Corporation to wheel power from an affiliate (Coastal Refining) cogeneration facility to 28 remote installations owned by other affiliates. ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)Meeting the Quality of Work-Life goals often involves programs that greatly increase the need for energy, such as providing large quantities of ventilated air during the heating season. This requirement by itself would ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)Industries have added sensitive electrical loads such as computers and electronic equipment to improve efficiency, lower costs and to raise the overall quality of the product being manufactured. With this new technology ...
