Plant engineers and managers guide to energy conservation. Fourth edition
This book covers both management and technical strategies which can be utilized to slash energy costs by up to 40%. Topics include life cycle costing, electrical and HVAC system optimization, mechanical and process system efficiency improvement, cogeneration, methods to reduce building energy losses, and guidelines for establishing an effective energy conservation-oriented maintenance program. The latest technological advances for reducing the power consumption of lighting are presented. Special features include: (1) an operation and application checklist for heat exchangers, (2) analysis of cool storage systems, (3) application guidelines for advanced technologies now available to improve operational efficiency, and (4) microcomputer programs for energy analysis. Case studies are provided with example problems. 71 refs., 102 figs., 56 tabs.
