Due to the low thermal conductivity and low rigidity of the rubber bladder, the traditional tire curing process faces problems such as low efficiency, high energy consumption, and low production accuracy. To eliminate defects, this work presents a novel direct-pressure curing technology (DPCT) with a steel internal mold heated by electromagnetic induction. Special equipment featuring this novel technology was developed and used for trial-production of tire with a specific size. The energy consumption of sample tires was measured for comparison between the new technology and the traditional one. Nonuniformity and unbalance of tires are tested, meanwhile, physical properties of tread and sidewall parts of cured tires are tested. Furthermore, a finite element analysis (FEA) is carried out to investigate the heating rate of the new curing technology and to optimize the curing process. According to the results, with the new curing technology, the energy consumption per cure cycle is cut down by about 86%, while the curing efficiency and the tensile strength of sidewall part of the cured tire are improved by 22.5% and increased by 13.9%, respectively. In addition, the radial force variation (RFV), couple unbalance mass and curing temperature difference are also reduced by 16.8%, 37%, and 8 °C, respectively. These results suggest that DPCT has excellent energy-saving performance and production accuracy.

High energy consumption is an important issue affecting the operation and development of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). This paper seeks energy-saving opportunities from three aspects: energy application, process optimization, and performance evaluation. Moreover, effective energy-saving can be achieved from the perspective of energy supply and recovery by using green energy technologies, including wastewater and sludge energy recovery technologies. System optimization and control is used to reduce unnecessary energy consumption in operation. Reasonable indexes and methods can help researchers evaluate the application value of energy-saving technology. Some demonstration WWTPs even can achieve energy self-sufficiency by using these energy conservation technologies. Besides, this paper introduces the challenges faced by the wastewater treatment industry and some emerging energy-saving technologies. The work can give engineers some suggestions about reducing energy consumption from comprehensive perspectives.

With the characteristics of low permeability, pressure and abundance, it's extremely hard to exploit the super low permeability reservoirs in ChangQing oil field. For this reason, the water injection recovery technique has been widely used. Analysis showed that a serious problem of high energy consumption exist in the water injection system, the power consumption of which accounts for about 44%. And the energy cost of pump units reach up to 43%, it's the highest energy consumption link in the system. In this paper the load rate classification method (LRCM) is firstly adopted to statistical analyze water injection stations, which are divided into the owing and over load rate stations. As a result, the owing load rate stations accounts for 83.8%, with a serious phenomenon of the Big Horse Pull A Small Carriage, causing the large-scale backflow in the station, and the efficiency is low, the energy consumption is on the high side. Aimed at water injection stations with different load rate, the methods of reasonable shutting down the pumps, pump replacement, optimizing the transmission ratio and piston size, as well as the speed control technology have been used to make the outlet flow and actual demand reasonable matching. The test result shows that the energy saving technology is well targeted, simple, practical and low cost. The pump units’ efficiency improves obviously, the consumption reduces by 10%, which greatly improve the oilfield economic benefits.

The quantity of official cars increased with the speed exceeding 20% every year which need much more energy be consumed to meet the official car needs. To investigate the energy saving potential of official cars in China, This paper introduced the strategy method with systemic viewpoint to reduce official cars energy consumption through analyzing the reason of high energy consuming of official cars. The resulted showed that only reduce the quantities and maintenance cost, and decline the displacement and using frequency can realize fuel efficiency of official cars.

Under-ventilation and high energy consumption are some of the problems associated with school classrooms. Thus, it is necessary to develop a ventilation strategy that is characterized by high energy-saving and ventilation efficiency. To this end, this study aims to investigate natural ventilation as a possible strategy to improve the indoor environment while reducing ventilation loads and maintaining energy costs during intermediate seasons. Ventilation and cooling load reductions based on the opening and closing of several windows were analyzed. Window flow coefficients and ventilation rates were measured and used for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to obtain pressure coefficients for 16 wind directions. The results obtained showed that the improved natural ventilation strategy could be used to effectively establish required indoor conditions (26 °C, 60% RH). Additionally, compared with the mechanical ventilation system with variable refrigerant flow, this natural strategy resulted in a decrease in energy consumption of approximately 30%. However, its application requires that internal heat gain and CO2 emissions, which depend on human population density, as well as the room usage schedule should be considered.

Hospital buildings consume high energy more than other buildings in the commercial buildings sector as there is a continuous demand for power  supplies. Energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced in the buildings sector by using various energy saving methods. In this study, on-sight visiting for energy audit has been conducted at a private hospital in Sana’a - Yemen to record all data relevant to energy consumption by equipment, machines, and all other mechanical systems. Different energy saving scenarios were using to estimate the potential of energy saving such as using high-efficiency lighting devices, raising the thermostat set point temperature for air conditioners, using high-efficiency motors (HEM) with a different load ratio, and using variable speed motors (VSM). Results indicated that energy consumption for the hospital was 4,061.8 Megawatthourper year whereas energy intensity was 232 kWh/m2. It is found that about 150.32 megawatt-hours of annual energy saving is achieved by using HEM and 689.72 Megawatt-hour per year by raising the set point of air conditioners thermostat to 26 °C. In addition, 1513 megawatt-hours per year of energy can be saved by reducing the VSM speed to 60% whereas95.8 megawatt-hours per year is estimated by adopting 100% load of HEM. The economic study of energy saving strategies was found that the use of HEM is not economically viable, while the use of VSM with large capacity motors is better from economic and environmental points of view. Keywords: Hospital building, energy consumption, Energy index, Energy saving, Emission reduction

Abstract Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have the advantages of achieving excellent effluent quality, a small footprint and smooth operation and maintenance. On the other hand, its high energy consumption remains a critical challenge for MBR application. Japan Sewage Works Agency has conducted a series of joint researches with several private companies since 2012 and developed four kinds of energy-saving MBR systems. Based on the results of long-term pilot-scale demonstrations, specific energy consumption (SEC) per unit treated effluent volume was calculated for each MBR system, resulting in all systems achieving SEC of 0.4 kWh/m3 or less. To meet an additional requirement for expanding MBR application, it is also necessary to establish the applicability of MBR systems to combined sewer systems, suffering from occasional inflow fluctuation caused by rainfall. The capability of temporary higher flux operation during and after rainy weather was also demonstrated with three of the four developed systems.
