An Experimental Study of the Use of Coconut Oil-based PCM to Reduce the Thermal Load of Air Conditioners as an Effort to Save Energy

Abstract: The use of air conditioning affects energy consumption. Thermal load is a big factor that affects energy consumption by air conditioners. For this reason, the thermal load of a room needs to be reduced. One strategy to reduce the room's thermal load is the use of phase change materials (PCM). Coconut oil is a PCM that has a freezing temperature in the range of 21.30 – 21.73 oC which will be investigated in this study. The test was carried out with three room models; without PCM, with PCM partition, and PCM par… Show more
