Consumption reduction

Traditional air curtains, which utilize only indoor air heated in the curtain heaters, are not always economical (due to considerable thermal energy consumption). Reduction of heat consumption is achieved by curtains that utilize unheated indoor or outdoor air, and also combined air curtains, which heat, 3only part of the supplied air. Air curtains that use unheated air conserve. 30-70% of thermal energy. 

Fig. 16.12 Principle and advantages of the falling film electrolyser. Advantages include improved mass and heat transfer low gas content in electrolyte low concentration difference constant hydraulic pressure low expected voltage of 2.70 V at 3 kA m-2 leading to power consumption reduction of 70 kWh per tonne of NaOH at 4kA m-2, including circulation pumps and small element depth. 

Life-style measures that are widely agreed to lower blood pressure and that should be considered in all patients in whom they may apply are weight reduction, reduction of excessive alcohol consumption, reduction of high salt intake and increase in physical activity. Particular emphasis should be placed on cessation of smoking and on healthy eating patterns that contribute to the treatment of associated risk factors and cardiovascular diseases. 

Food consumption reduction. Seed hull, administered to mice at a concentration of 52.5% of diet, was inactive. No differences in psyllium-fed and placebo-fed groups and for normal and diabetic rats were detected . 

The different lubricant suppliers made a technical proposal of their services (technical approach, monitoring, quality of the products, take back lubricants exhaust from the sugar mill, reports on lubricant consumption, environmental benefits like water consumption reduction, energy savings, increase of equipment life-cycles, statistics and controlling) as well as a time schedule for the work plan. Each of the suppliers accepted agreements concluded in a collaboration contract between the Mexican Cleaner Production Centre, the sugar mill and the lubricants supplier. 

Comparison of power consumption reduction for HCP and conventional transport of coal and viscous liquid... 

Similar result brings comparison of power consumption reduction for transport of encapsulated viscous liquid (Russian oil) conveyed by water with conventional pipeline transport of the oil. Transport of viscous oil and oil products by means of capsule pipelining may again provide power consumption reduction from 50% to 70%, the reduction increases with operational velocity. Since for low temperature the oil viscosity significantly increases hydraulic capsule pipeline transport of highly viscous oil and oil products for long distances in arctic conditions can be economically attractive. Capsule pipeline transport could be recommended as suitable transport especially for longer distances when power consumption becomes the most important for operational cost. 

Because of the large demand for 02 by roots and rhizosphere microorganisms, a large change in the soil s redox potential can be expected. Most redox processes are coupled with the release (oxidation) or consumption (reduction) of protons and therefore may cause pH changes also. 

Unlike electrodialysis, which tends to concentrate and remove or recover species, electromembrane processes transform species present in waste streams by electrolysis and the use of cation and anion exchange membranes. These processes offer chemical cost reduction (by recovery), water consumption reduction, and discharge or reuse of contaminant-free waters. Supplementary gains are also obtained by identifying a market for products obtained from the recovery and transformation processes. 

Calculate the effects of this energy consumption reduction on the amount of pollutants emitted from the local power plant. 

Life cycle assessment studies demonstrate the potentialities of vehicles powered by fuel cells in terms of both total emission and energy consumption reduction [40-42]. 

An example of the impact of product usage and the environmental implications is tire rolling resistance and its effect on vehicle fuel consumption. Reduction in tire rolling resistance results in a drop in vehicle fuel consumption. This has an immediate impact on the generation of exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide. 

Increased energy efficiency, reduction of cokes consumption, reduction of residues. 

The influence of the edge effect on the insulating performance of the panel in actual applications can be better appreciated by introdncing the ECR (Energy Consumption Reduction) factor ... 

The energy consumption reduction in two refrigerator cabinets, each using one panel, 100 X 50 X 2 cm large, covering 40% and 60% of the total surface is shown in Table 4.11. The same assumptions used in Table 4.10 have been made for the PU thermal conductivity and thickness of the barrier foil. 

Nowadays steel wheels and aluminum alloy wheels own about 50 % of the market share. Often aluminum alloy wheels are preferred for their thin-spoke appearance, but in a field dominated by the constant request of weight and consumption reduction, the automakers more frequently opt for steel wheels to trim the weight of their products as they are lighter and much more cost eftective than their aluminum equivalent (American Iron and Steel Institute, 2004 Crain Communications, 2013 M.W. Italia SpA, n.d.). 

One of new methods that are recently introduced as one of environmental management tools is MFCA. MFCA method focuses on cost of material losses and wastes. Reducing wastes can lead to resource consumption reduction followed by adverse effects on its management. In fact, reducing adverse environmental impact... 

The fuel consumption reduction obtained by solving the models is also due to reach optimal power import/export strategy (Oliveira Francisco, 2002).
