Evaluación de Recuperación de Energía en Equipos de una Planta de Servicios Auxiliares. Ingenier. mecáni. tecnolog. desarroll [online]. 2008, vol.2, n.6, pp.177-1784. ISSN 1665-7381.

An evaluation of energy use in an Auxiliary Service Plant is presented in this work. The exergy method was used to show there is an inadequate use of energy in the Plant's devices. It was computed that the exergetic efficiency of the plant is 44.27 %, and it was found that 97.65% of exergy destruction is concentrated in seven equipments (three steam generators, two turbogenerators, a dearator and a hydraulic pump).

Keywords : Energy; exergy; evaluation of energy use; auxiliary service plant.
