El método termoeconómico como una herramienta para los análisis de factibilidad. (Spanish)

Abstract

An exegetical analysis of the Complex of Agricultural Industry (CAI) "Remberto Abad Aleman" with its nominal data was made. After this, using the thermal and economical method, were determined the most economical potential areas for the energetic betterment. For these areas, different levels of investment are proposed, and financial methods were used for determining the feasibility of each suggested level. A good result of nominal conditions is shown as to the balance of generation and consumption of steam, and it was proved that in the process the degradation of energy is present. On the other hand, the thermal and economical method allowed the comprehension of the fact that little performance increments can lead to significant economical savings. The necessity of investment was ratified by financial criteria, such as Net Up-date Value and Internal Return Rate. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
