Electric Driven Heat Pumps in Distillation Processes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Radian Corporation, under contract to the Electric Power Research Institute, has recently completed a study of the potential range of application for retrofitting electric driven heat pumps to existing distillation columns. ...
Direct Refrigeration from Heat Recovery Using 2-Stage Absorption Chillers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Although the cost of some fossil fuels has moderated, the importance of energy conservation by heat recovery has not diminished. The application of waste heat generated steam to produce chilled water is not new. However, ...
Waste Heat Recovery in the Metal Working Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The use of exhaust gas heat exchangers to preheat combustion air in forge and heat treat furnaces is discussed. The temperature range of the applications are 1200o -2400o F. The installations discussed involve both new and ...
Corporate Profitability and Corporate Longevity
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Many firms have discovered in the last few years that even the largest company is not immune to complete financial ruin. Is it due to poor management, lack of market savvy, or just a manifestation of the economy and increased ...
The Productivity Dilemma in Manufacturing
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The crises facing U.S. industry today due to increasing costs of operation, low productivity, lack of modern equipment, lack of capital, and increasing foreign competition have been widely discussed. The availability of ...
Practical Application of Second Law Costing Methods
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The key to proper allocation of fuel and feedstock costs to the products from a plant or from any one of its components is the commodity called exergy - the central concept of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, commonly ...
Process Waste Heat Recovery in the Food Industry - A System Analysis
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
An analysis of an industrial waste heat recovery system concept is discussed. For example purposes, a food processing plant operating an ammonia refrigeration system for storage and blast freezing is considered. Heat is ...
Application of Homopolar Pulsed Power to Metals Joining
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Homopolar generators (HPGs) presently being developed at the Center for Electromechanics are capable of delivering megampere pulses of electric current in a controllable manner. One application for these machines is as the ...
Steam System Management Program Yields Fuel Savings for Refinery
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
The Phillips refinery at Borger, Texas, determined the need to develop a utility monitoring system. Shortly after this commitment was made, the refinery was introduced to a flowsheet modeling program that could be used to ...
Energy Management and the Conservation Investment Decision
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
This paper will describe briefly the model and method used to determine the value of the differential cash flow from an Energy Conservation Investment (E.C.I.). The key ingredients are the net effect on cash flow over the ...
