CD Includes Interactive Tools, Tips, Quizzes
The Save Energy Now CD from the DOE's Industrial Technologies Program contains an interactive quiz, more than 10 free software tools, and many publications — all in one package. The products and information are tailored to help industry plant managers and engineers save on energy costs, with an emphasis on reducing natural gas consumption.

The CD brings together Save Energy Now resources from the ITP and BestPractices portfolio, including publications, software tools, web links, newsletters, natural gas price trends, and energy management and plant assessment information.

System-specific sections focus process heating, steam and motor-driven systems, and include system-related case studies, publications and software tools. Guidance on energy management, including assessment opportunities and corporate energy management, also is provided, with additional information on accessing DOE's qualified specialists and industrial assessment centers.

Designed to help industrial end-users save energy now, this CD provides resources and tools at your fingertips. Contact the EERE Information Center online or by calling (877) 337-3463 to order.

Revamped Site from Engineered Products
A library of product brochures, performance specifications and capabilities for more than 200 ovens and furnaces can be viewed at Engineering Product Sales Corp.’s redesigned web site.

The Orange, Calif.-based firm sells a line of laboratory ovens, heat treat furnaces and pharmaceutical ovens from manufacturers such as Gruenberg, Shel Lab and Cress Mfg., as well as its own line of custom-built production ovens.

Chiller Solves Problems for Plastics Firm
Concerned about the possibility of increased downtime and lost production, one plastics processor recently decided to install a new chiller.

Glass-Mat Emissions Abatement
When a two-canister regenerative thermal oxidizer proved not up to the task of handling the VOC emissions from a glass-mat curing line, it was replaced with a five-canister system with a modular design.

Compact Package Creates Efficiencies
An integrated control loop package offers one pharmaceutical manufacturer benefits such as multiple program ramp-and-soak capabilities for differing time and temperature profile sterilization needs.

Combined Heat and Power Systems for Process Heating
CHP systems employ the simultaneous generation of thermal and electrical energy at or near the point of consumption. Could CHP benefit your energy-intensive process heating needs?

Burner History 101
Site Registration or Log In Required to View
Combustion expert Dick Bennett shares a five-part series on how modern industrial burners developed -- and how their development can help your process.

Compact, Air-Cooled Chiller
Designed for indoor location, LPCA Series is supplied with an integrated pump/tank. The ultra compact, air-cooled chiller provides 1 to 20 tons of cooling capacity. Features include a Type 316 stainless steel plate evaporator with ridged patterns that are brazed together to form two separate channel systems, allowing the refrigerant and fluid to flow in counter directions. An inline strainer with removable stainless steel screen protects the evaporator from contamination. The microprocessor controller offers a setpoint temperature range of
-58 to 194°F (-50 to 90°C).
