Rather than cooling the air, which is energy intensive, facilities managers could make it move faster.
Tube furnaces are essential and primary energy intensive facilities in petrochemical plants.
Chromium nitride coatings are usually applied to metal surface by physical vapour deposition processes, which not only have line-of-sight restrictions but also require capital intensive facilities.
Cleanrooms, as mechanically intensive facilities that consume large amount of energy to maintain its defined environment demand high capital and operating costs.
Results suggest that these techniques can be valuable under specified conditions, but also that investment subsidies influence cost competitive facility design by incentivizing development of more capital intensive facilities (e.g., favoring hydrothermal liquefaction over transesterification-based facilities).
Data Centers (DCs) are high energy intensive facilities due to the large power requirements of the computing equipment and the infrastructure needed to support it, in particular cooling systems.
The nuclear power plant is highly knowledge-intensive facility.
In such circumstances investors tend to plump for less capital-intensive facilities which provide a quick return.The reactor that Areva is building in Finland might have dispelled worries about the commercial viability of new plants, were it not behind schedule and over budget itself.
According to National Laws, Portuguese facilities consuming more than 500 toe/year are framed as energy-intensive facilities [36].
bThe frequency gives information to the grid manager about the load pattern, so for example, the operation of energy-intensive facilities can be planned in a better way.
This approach of evaluating the energy-intensive facilities (e.g. solar kilns) is novel, and may result in a robust framework for further performance/design optimization study of solar kiln designs.
