Exam (elaborations) TEST BANK FOR Energy Management 3rd Edition International Version By Klaus Dieter E. Pawlik (Solutions Manual)

Introduction to Energy Management Problem: For your university or organization, list some energy management projects that might be good ”first ones,” or early selections. Solution: Early projects should have a rapid payback, a high probability of success, and few negative consequences (increasing/ decreasing the air-conditioning/heat, or reducing lighting levels). Examples: Switching to a more efficient light source (especially in conditioned areas where one not only saves with the reduced power consumption of the lamps but also from reduced refrigeration or air-conditioning load). Repairing steam leaks. Small steam leaks become large leaks over time. Insulating hot fluid pipes and tanks. Install high efficiency motors. And many more 1 2 Solutions Manual for Guide to Energy Management Problem: Again for your university or organization, assume you are starting a program and are defining goals. What are some potential first-year goals? Solution: Goals should be tough but achievable, measurable, and specific. Examples: Total energy per unit of production will drop by 10 percent for the first and an additional 5 percent the second. Within 2 years all energy consumers of 5 million British thermal units per hour (Btuh) or larger will be separately metered for monitoring purposes. Each plant in the division will have an active energy management program by the end of the first year. All plants will have contingency plans for gas curtailments of varying duration by the end of the first year. All boilers of 50,000 lbm/hour 'or larger will be examined for waste heat recovery potential the first year
