Abstract

In this research, a simulation method has been developed for designing a solar air conditioner and predicting its perfomances. This simulation based on solar irradiation data, solar collector performance data, LiBr-H2O absorption chiller single effect performance data, Phase Change Material (PCM) data as its inputs. Napthalene is used for HTTS and acetic acid is used for TTS. Energy balance, mass balance, and characteristic equations of each component are used in the solar air conditioning simulation. Validation of the developed simulation model was done with experiment data for solar air conditioning system with HTTS and LTTS without auxiliary heater. Generally, the tendency of the simulation and experiment results are similar. The application of HTTS and LTTS make the system can be operated more in 100 minutes.

Abstract

Hydrocarbon refrigerant is one kind of refrigerants, which is developed to substitute CFC and HCFC. The substances contained in hydrocarbon refrigerant are etane, propane, normal butane, and iso butane. Ethane is being suspected on reducing the performance of refrigerator. This paper deals with theoretical study of ethane influence in hydrocarbon refrigerant. First of all it is necessary to create software for evaluating thermodynamics properties. This software has many choices for prescribed thermodynamics properties. According to the analysis, it is known that the more ethane content in HCR-12, the more deviation of saturated pressure-temperature curves between HCR-12 and R-12. While in HCR-22 when the pressure is less that 4 bar, it is known that the more ethane content, the more deviation of saturated pressure-temperature curve between HCR-22 and R-22. However, if the pressure is above 4 bars, it is known that the more ethane, the saturated pressure-temperature curve is close to the one of HCR-22 with 4% ethane content. On performance test of standard refrigeration system using the refrigerant, it is known that the more ethane content in HCR-12 and HCR-22, COP of the system decreases gradually. The average temperature in evaporator and condensor also declines.

Abstract

A gas saver for gas cooking stove has been investigated, designed, and tested in this work. The device is a conical vertical cylinder placed around the cooking pan. The application of the device does not need any modification of the cooking stove nor the cooking pan. The temperature distribution of hot gas around the cooking pan is computed by means of numerical method. It is found that a significant fuel saving can be obtained using the gas saver because the vertical wall becomes an energy input area to the cooking pan which is not the case in absence of the gas saver. The tests of gas saver have been carried out using aluminum cooking pans of 16 cm and 29 cm diameters to heat 1.30 kg and 2.35 kg of water, respectively. In this preliminary test the gas saver is made of aluminum laminated cartoon. It is found that the gas saver reduces the cooking time and reduces the fuel consumption about 9 – 11 %. With the assumption of LPG consumption 12 kg/stove/ month,, 6,000,000 cooking stove used (government plan) and 10% of fuel saving, 86,400,000 kg of LPG will be saved per year. With the price of a gas saver Rp 20,000.00/piece/year, the total money saved will be amounted to Rp 240,000,000.00 per year.
