“…Isolation in the combustion chamber, especially in the furnace, needs to be done to reduce the conduction of heat lost [2]. Intervention on furnace design gives the effect on improving thermal efficiency, fuel economy, reducing emissions, and improving safety and productivity [5]. This statement is also supported that the design the furnace gives effect to an increase in thermal efficiency and the reduction of pollutant elements [7].…”

Gamelan is traditional musical instrument that evolves especially in Bali, its function is to accompany the religious and cultural ceremonies of Hindus. The making process of gamelan, smelting bronze alloys, is done by using traditional furnaces. The use of charcoal as fuel in smelting process causes melting furnace performance is difficult to determine. That condition impacts the effectiveness of the smelting process especially in determining the needs of fuel and the processing time. Therefore, it influences the productivity of crafters. This research was conducted to test the performance of the furnace in accordance with a design that is commonly used by artisans. The observation was done at the temperature of melting, melting time, data retrieval was conducted repeatedly three times on different days. Based on the analysis and observation in accordance with the experimental design made whereby in the smelting process to achieve the casting temperature indicated as follows. The average temperature of smelting is 730,8 °C, fuel use is 23 kg, melting time is 39.76 minutes as well as the efficiency of the furnace 36.80%. Based on the analysis conducted, low efficiency is due to the surface of the furnace which is designed open, so that during the energy generated in the process of burning a lot of fuel wasted into the environment.

“…The composition of the bronze alloy used 80%Cu and 20% Sn, this alloy composition is commonly used by gamelan crafters. Based on the phase diagram Cu-Sn the melting temperature of that composition is about 700 ° C[1].The energy generated in the smelting process can be calculated by the following equation:[5]…”

“…Many authors suggested the use of insulation and radiation shields to decrease energy loss and optimizing heat transfer in order to improve charcoal stoves [16] [17] [18] [19]. However, by reducing the volume of the combustion chamber to a strict minimum and by controlling the space through which hot air can leave the combustion chamber, the traditional charcoal stove "Éclair-Taaru"1 could be improved [20].…”

The Design of Experiments (DOE) and the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) are used to determine the effect of fuel type, fuel initial load, secondary air inlet and ventilation on thermal efficiency and CO emission of two biomass fire cookstoves during boiling or simmering. Analysis of variance with Fischer's statistical test (F-test) and Newman-Keuls test were applied to establish the influence of the independent parameters on the studied responses. The results of this study are useful to application of charcoal cooks stoves.
