      In the production of electrodeposition primers, water is used as the primary cleaning agent. The dirty water that is generated contains residual contaminants from the primer production equipment, which requires that the ...
    • Recover Power with Hydraulic Motors 
      Brennan, J. R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      Anywhere liquid pressure is reduced across a throttling device, there is a potential application for a hydraulic power recovery motor (HPRM). Cost of power makes HPRM's attractive with recoveries as small as 25 hp on a ...
    • Recovering Energy From Ventilation and Process Airstreams 
      Cheney, W. A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      The high cost of energy has prompted industry to look for new ways to reduce operating expenses. Often ignored are the large amounts of recoverable energy present in the ventilation and process airstreams discharged ...
    • Recovering Energy with a Compressed Air System Program 
      Nipper, J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2014)
    • Recovering Flare Gas Energy - A Different Approach 
      Brenner, W. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
      Most petrochemical complexes and oil refineries have systems to collect and dispose of waste gases. Usually this is done by burning in a flare. Some installations recover these gases by compressing them into their fuel ...
    • Recovering the Heat Dissipated by the Digital Switching Equipment 
      Karasseferian, V. V.; Desjardins, R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      With the advent of the Digital Switching Equipment, came the need for year round cooling due to its high heat density. This meant the need for independent systems of heating and cooling within the same building, one consuming ...
    • Recovery Boiler Modeling 
      Abdullah, Z.; Salcudean, M.; Nowak, P. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
      Preliminary computations of the cold flow in a simplified geometry of a recovery boiler are presented. The computations have been carried out using a new code containing multigrid methods and segmentation techniques. This ...
