Energy Conservation Through Use of Boiler Economizers (Economic and Practical Considerations)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
One of the most productive means of obtaining conservation of energy lies in the improvement of the fuel-to-steam efficiency of high pressure steam generating boilers. Boilers operating at steam pressures of 100 psig and ...
Heat Pump Strategies and Payoffs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
After evaluating numerous waste heat sources and heat pump designs for energy recovery, we have become aware that a great deal of confusion exists about the economics of heat pumps. The purpose of this article is to present ...
An Energy Self-Sufficient Sawmill
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
This paper investigates the feasibility of converting sawmill wood by-products (biomass) into useful and marketable energy forms such as low pressure steam and electricity. It is based on the principle of energy cascading, ...
The Chemical Engineer's Role in Economic Recovery
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Chemical engineers must lead industry to a clearer view of the thermodynamic potential of existing plants and more realistic expectations for emerging new technologies.

The Organic Rankine Cycle System, Its Application to Extract Energy From Low Temperature Waste Heat
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
The conservation of energy by its recovery from low temperature waste heat is of increasing importance in today's world energy crisis. The Organic Rankine Cycle is a cost efficient and proven method of converting low ...
Energy Conservation Options in Distillation Processes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
This paper summarizes the results of a survey of energy conservation options applicable to distillation processes. Over twenty such options were identified, and eight of these were selected for detailed presentation. These ...
Design and Economic Evaluation of Thermionic Cogeneration in a Chlorine-Caustic Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The study shows that it is feasible to equip a chlorine-caustic plant with thermionic cogeneration. Thermionic combustors replace the existing burners of the boilers used to raise steam for the evaporators, and are capable ...
Why Energy Projects Do Not Get Approved
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
We have all struggled to convince management to
pursue energy conservation alternatives using
economic arguments such as internal rates of
return, project payback, and net present value.
Some have tried life cycle ...
Industrial Heat Pumps--Types and Costs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Many potentially beneficial applications for industrial heat pumps are not being pursued because of confusion regarding both energy savings and economics. Part of this confusion stems from the variety of heat pumps available ...
Variable Flow Chilled Water Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Today, substantial savings can be achieved by converting constant flow-rate chilled water systems to variable flow-rate systems. This conversion is best suited for large, central plant chilled water systems where two or ...
