Rancang Bangun Unit Penghasil Asap Cair yang Terintegrasi dengan Pengering Kabinet

Abstract

Abstrak. Pemanfaatan energi panas buangan dari proses kondensasi asap cair belum banyak diaplikasikan, selama ini panas dibuang ke media air yang disirkulasikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendesain dan menguji fungsional unit penghasil asap cair yang terintegrasi dengan pengering kabinet. Penelitian ini terdiri dari tiga tahapan yaitu perancangan (desain struktural dan fungsional), pabrikasi, dan uji fungsional hasil rancangan. Perekayasaan ini menghasilkan unit penghasil asap cair yang terintegrasi dengan pengering kabinet. Alat ini terdiri dari empat komponen utama yaitu tabung pirolisator, pipa penukar panas, pengering kabinet serta kondensor. Berdasarkan uji fungsional, alat ini telah dapat menghasilkan asap cair dengan volume berkisar antara 2300 – 3182 ml selama 5 jam proses pembakaran tempurung kelapa. Wadah 1 merupakan wadah yang paling banyak menampung asap cair dibandingkan wadah 2, hal ini menunjukan proses kondensasi lebih banyak terjadi pada pipa penukar panas Design and Construction of Machine for Liquid Smoke Production Integrated with Cabinet DryerAbstract. Utilization of released heat energy from the condensation of liquid smoke has not been widely applied. Recently, the heat generated from the process was discharged and circulated into water as a cooling media. This research aimed to design and test a functional of liquid unit integrated with a dryer cabinet. The study consisted of three steps including design (structural and functional design), manufacturing, and testing a functional of results designed. This research and development produced liquid smoke integrated with the dryer cabinet. This machine consisted of four main components including tube of pirolisator, heat exchanger, condenser and dryer cabinet. Based on the functional test, this machine had been able to produce liquid smoke, ranged from 2300 to 3182 ml for 5 hours burning process of coconut shells. The first container was a container that received much more liquid smoke compared with the second container 2. This research revealed that condensation process occurs more frequently in the heat exchanger pipe.
