Hydraulic Cooling Tower Driver- The Innovation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
One of the weaknesses of present day cooling tower drives are fan wrecks caused by shaft couplings breaking, gear box malfunctions due to inadequate lubrication, gear tooth wear, and inaccessibility for inspection and ...
Adaptive Optimization of Central Chiller Plant Equipment Sequencing
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Control strategies for plant engineering
systems are a contemporary research topic of
great interest. Their purpose is to provide
control that adapts to changes in demand and
other operating conditions in order to ...
Combustion Technology Development for an Advanced Glass Melting System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Concept feasibility of an innovative technology for glass production has recently been demonstrated. It is based on suspension heating of the glass-forming batch minerals while entrained in a combustion flow of preheated ...
Industrial Energy Conservation: Are Market Pressures Sufficient or are Programs Needed?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
This paper describes a regulatory view on the need for active public utility commission involvement in promoting energy efficiency and conservation. The author believes that “price-induced” conservation, while very ...
Getting Excited Again Over Energy
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Competition is the name of the game for each
of you. It really doesn't matter whether
you are in a utility, industry, or have a
commercial building operation. Today' s
competitive forces are straining the
intellect ...
Accurate BTU Measurement
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Heat flow measurement is a complex and
sensitive discipline. It requires a
thorough understanding of the available
technology as well as a practical
knowledge of the process and the fluid
being measured. Accurate heat ...
Recovering Flare Gas Energy - A Different Approach
(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 ...
The Use of Metal Hydrides for Hydrogen Recovery from Industrial Off-Gas Streams
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
This paper describes the development
of a concept to utilize metal hydrides
to recover hydrogen from industrial
off-gas streams. The activity
included a survey of industrial waste
streams a selection of metallic
hydriding ...
Cogeneration Design Considerations for a Major Petrochemical Facility
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
The step increase in energy cost brought about in 1973 has permanently changed the way in which petrochemical production facilities are designed, operated, and maintained. Highly visible energy conservation programs ...
Marketing Cool Storage Technology
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
With the general increase in electricity rates,
commercial and industrial customers have become
strongly motivated to seek methods of achieving
reductions in electric bills. At the same
time, electric utilities have ...
