Walk, Haydel Approach to Process Heat Recovery
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Walk, Haydel has developed a two phase approach to optimize the recovery of process heat in energy intensive operations. While the approach can be used on 'grassroots' designs, it has been used primarily for revamps. The ...
Demonstration: The Key to Technology Transfer in the Field of Energy Conservation in the UK
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Technology transfer has been one of the most intractable problems faced on a worldwide basis. The problem is particularly acute in the field of energy efficiency because none of the 3 major parties involved, the researcher, ...
Temperature Compensated Air/Fuel Ratio Control on a Recuperated Furnace
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
When recuperation is added to a furnace, air/ fuel ratio control seemingly becomes more complicated. Two methods normally used are mass flow control where the fuel pressure or flow is proportional to the mass flow of air ...
Combustion Gas Turbine Power Enhancement by Refrigeration of Inlet Air
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Combustion gas turbines have gained widespread acceptance for mechanical drive and power generation applications. One key drawback of a combustion turbine is that its specific output and thermal efficiency vary quite ...
Heat Recovery Consideration for Process Heaters and Boilers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The largest single area for industrial energy conservation is in the improvement of combustion efficiencies for heaters and boilers.
A number of methods can be employed to recover heat. The most common are by use of ...
Heat Exchanger Monitoring and Its Application to Cleaning and Antifoulant Use
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Many refineries and chemical plants are presently experiencing considerable fuel savings and reduced maintenance costs as a result of their heat exchanger monitoring activities. Significant energy credits can be generated ...
Combustion Air Preheat on Steam Cracker Furnaces
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Beginning in 1978, Exxon has started up nine large new steam cracking furnaces with various levels of air preheat, and has seven more under construction. Sources of heat have included process streams, flue gas and gas ...
Evaporative Cooling for Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The evaporative cooling principle applies to all equipment that exchanges sensible heat for latent heat. Equipment of this type falls into two general categories: (1) equipment for heat rejection, such as cooling towers ...
Recirculation of In-Plant Air at General Motors
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The cost of doing business has been increasing at an alarming rate, especially energy-related costs. GM's yearly energy costs have surpassed the one billion dollar mark and are well on their way toward the two billion ...
Application of Electrotechnologies - EPRI's Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The past year was one of significant progress in the Industrial Electrification Program. The Electrification Studies (i.e., process profiles) have been essentially completed. Work associated with developing these process ...
