(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)Of the industrial electric heating devices, one of the most useful and efficient in the high temperature range is the plasma arc heater which heats gases by means of an electric arc. It goes far beyond the temperature range ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)Texas Utilities Electric Company has been actively encouraging installations of thermal storage since 1981. Financial incentives and advantageous rates can make thermal storage an attractive cooling concept in Texas ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)With the ever-increasing cost of electricity and the high demand charges levied by utility companies, thermal storage for cooling is rapidly becoming a widely recognized method to lower cooling costs. There are three ...
