ASME EA-1G:2010 pdf free download Guidance for ASME EA-1, Energy Assessment for Process Heating Systems
process heating systen: process heating system includesa group (or a set, or combination) of heating equipmentused to heat materials used in production of goods inan industrial plant. The system includes such heatingequipment as furnaces, melters, ovens, and heaters.
resource utilization: use of such available resources asenergy, money, material, and manpower to perform thenecessary functions in plant operation.
Sankey diagram: specific type of flow diagram in whichflowsare represented by arrows. The width of the arrowsis shown proportionally to the flow quantity.They aretypically used to visualize energy or material transfersbetween processes.
thermal efficiency: for a particular process heating sys-tem, it is the ratio of the energy absorbed by the materialbeing processed to the total energy consumed to heatthe system.
3oVERVIEw OF THE STANDARD – How To
USE ASME EA-1
ASMEEA-1 is organized as described in paras.3.1through 3.7.
3.1 Section 1: Scope and Introduction
This section includes the scope for the standard, limi-tations of the standard, and an introduction on how touse the standard that includes information on the sys-tems approach and the system engineering process. Noguidance is provided for this section of the standard.
3.2Section 2: Definitions
This section includes definitions of terms used in thestandard.Noguidanceisprovided for this section,and thesedefinitions are repeated in section 2 of this document.
3.3Section 3: References
This section includes documents that are referencedin the standard. No guidance is provided for this sectionof the standard.
3.4Section 4: Organizing the Assessment
This section includes requirements on how to organ-ize an assessment including identification of team mem-bers and responsibilities, requirements for preliminarydata collection and analysis, and requirements on thedevelopment of assessment goals and a plan of action.Guidance is provided in section 4 of this document.
3.5Section 5: Conducting the Assessment
This section includes requirements on how to con-duct an assessment (the implementation phase of the plan of action). Guidance is provided in section 5 of thisdocument.
3.6Section 6: Analysis of Data From the
Assessment
This section includes requirements on how the ana-lyze the data collected during an assessment, includingthe development of a baseline profile.Guidance is pro-vided in section 6 of this document.
3.7Section 7: Reporting and Documentation
This section includes requirements on how to struc-ture the assessment report.Guidance is provided in sec-tion 7 of this document.
4GUIDE TO ORGANIZING THE ASSESSMENTAn assessment work plan should be prepared andreviewed with the team members.An example of a typi-cal work plan is given in Nonmandatory Appendix 己.4.1ldentification of Assessment Team MembersThere is no additional guidance for this clause.
4.1.1 Required Functions and Personnel.Potentialassessment team members to fill the functional rolesidentified in ASME EA-1 could include those listed in(a) through (d).
(a) Authorized Manager. An authorized managershould accept overall responsibility and have finaldecision-making authority. Responsibilities couldinclude supervising the assessment team and providingresources necessary to plan and execute the assessment.Resources include such items as funding, availability ofcompany personnel at the plant site, and, as necessary,requisitioning internal work orders and supplies.Themanager should also allocate and authorize the partici-pation of outside contractors and consultants,and, asnecessary, oversee the participation of outside personnelincluding contracts,scheduling, confidentiality agree-ments, and statement of work.
(b) Assessment Team Leader. Plant management candemonstrate commitment to the assessment goals,objectives, and activities by appointing a system assess-ment team leader familiar with the processes, systems,and equipment related to process heating in the plant.The team leader should be familiar with operating andmaintenance practices for the process heating equipment(or should have access, during the assessment, to peoplewho are) and should be empowered to obtain necessarysupport from plant personnel and other individuals andorganizations during the assessment.
