Energy Efficiency Optimizing Energy Efficiencies in Industry (TATA Import) by G. G. Rajan, AN EXPERT WITH THIRTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE SHARES HIS FORMULA TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND SLASH OPERATING COSTS Minimize cost and maximize energy efficiency! With "Optimizing Energy Efficiencies in Industry you can do both. Within the pages of this book you'll find practical insights and "rules of thumb" for determining the energy performance of individual energy-intensive equipment as well as the total system. Written by a specialist in energy management, "Optimizing Energy Efficiencies in Industry thoroughly explains the principles of operation and theory of energy-intensive equipment, including: * Heaters * Boilers * Turbines * Compressors * Pumps * and more. You'll also find a compilation of critical points which have been published or presented at national/international energy forums and databases to compare equipment performance, as well as expert coverage of: * Energy audits * Feasibility studies * Preliminary engineering * Detailed engineering * Implementation * Project and construction management * Start-up * "Rules of thumb" for determining the energy performance of individual equipment and total systems Invaluable to process and production engineers, managers, executives, design engineers, and students of energy management, "Optimizing Energy Efficiencies in Industry offers specialized knowledge and priceless experience that cannot be found in any similar book.
Energy Revolution: Policies for a Sustainable Fu by Howard Geller, The transformation from a carbon-based world economy to one based on high efficiency and renewables is a necessary step if human society is to achieve sustainability. But while scientists and researchers have made significant advances in energy efficiency and renewable technologies in recent years, consumers have yet to see dramatic changes in the marketplace-due in large part to government policies and programs that favor the use of fossil fuels. Energy Revolution examines the policy options for mitigating or removing the entrenched advantages held by fossil fuels and speeding the transitionto a more sustainable energy future, one based on improved efficiency and a shift to renewable sources such as solar, wind, and bioenergy. The book: examines today's energy patterns and trends and their consequences, describes the barriers to a more sustainable energy future and how those barriers can be overcome, provides ten case studies of integrated strategies that have been effective in different parts of the world, examines international policies and institutions and recommends ways they could be improved reviews global trends that suggest that the transition to renewables and increased efficiency is underway and is achievable Energy policy represents a linchpin for achieving a broader transition to a more sustainable economy. Energy Revolution offers a unique focus on policies and programs, and on the lessons provided by recent experience. It represents a key statement of the available options for reforming energy policy that have proven to be successful, and is an essential work for policymakers, researchers, and anyone concerned with energy and sustainability issues.
Energy efficiency - In physics and engineering, including mechanical and electrical engineering, energy efficiency is a dimensionless number, with a value between 0 and 1. The energy efficiency of a process is defined as: Seasonal energy efficiency ratio - Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is a measurement of efficiency for cooling devices such as heat pumps and air conditioners. A unit's SEER is calculated by dividing the total number of BTUs of heat removed from the air by the total amount of energy required by the unit. EU energy label - According to an EU Directive most white goods and light bulb packaging must have an EU Energy Label clearly displayed when offered for sale or rent. The energy efficiency of the appliance is rated in terms of a set of energy efficiency classes from A to G on the label, A being the most energy efficient, G the least efficient. National Energy Action - National Energy Action (NEA) is a UK charity that combats the heating and insulation problems of low-income households by encouraging the use of energy efficiency services. They deal with government, private, and consumer organizations to end fuel poverty and create campaigns for greater investment in energy efficiency to help those in need. energyefficiency |
