Abstract

Solar air heater (SAH) is a renewable energy application for the drying process. SAH has a challenge to produce high performance under uncertain weather. The performance of SAH can be enhanced by providing the absorber plate by adding the fins. This study aims to evaluate the thermal performance of SAH with rectangular fins SAH at low air velocity. This study compares the performance of SAH without fins and SAH with rectangular fins. Two variations of a tilt angle of SAH are 0° and 30° which are observed in this study. The SAH uses a ventilator turbine to suck air into the collector box. The air velocity is 0.01 m/s. The method is experimental. The SAH is tested under real condition from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The measurement tools consist of a pyranometer, an anemometer, a temperature sensor in the inlet section, 3 sensors in the absorber plate, a sensor in the outlet section, 6 temperature sensors in the drying cabinet. The result showed the thermal efficiency of SAH with rectangular fins is 29.67 % higher than SAH without fins at 0˚ tilt of angle at noon. The thermal efficiency of SAH with rectangular fins is 25.26 % higher than that of without fins at 30˚ tilt of angle at noon.

Abstract

Solar dryers have problems with low heat transfer performance and uneven temperature distribution, resulting in low efficiency. The efficiency of solar dryers depends on the design of the absorber plate, namely how much it can absorb solar heat. This study applies a Siepinski carpet with a complex structure and large dimensions, resulting in iterations called fractals. This study aims to improve the efficiency of solar dryers as an alternative to the negative impact of falling tomato prices, to determine the effect of the Siepinski Carpet Corrugated fractal distance on the performance of solar dryers in terms of heat transfer, to compare corrugated absorber plates with 3 siepinski carpet corrugated based on variations in the fractal ratio (RF), namely the ratio of the fractal center distance to the fractal length RF = 1, RF = 0.75, and RF = 0.6, on the performance of solar dryers, as well as to determine the distribution of temperature, pressure, and air flow velocity in the collector using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation method. This study used simulation methods that was conducted in a laboratory. In conclusion, the fractal ratio strongly influences airflow behavior and temperature distribution, where overly dense or overly open configurations enhance heat transfer, while intermediate obstruction can reduce thermal performance. Among the cases studied, RF = 1 and RF = 0.6 provide more effective and consistent heat transfer compared to RF = 0.75.

Abstract

Penukar kalor pipa ganda adalah peralatan yang digunakan untuk menukarkan kalor antara fluida panas dan fluida dingin menggunakan dua pipa konsentrik. Pada penelitian ini penukar kalor pipa ganda digunakan pada aplikasi pemanas air tenaga surya menggunakan dua fluida yang berbeda. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui performa terbaik dari penambahan turbulator pada pipa bagian dalam penukar kalor pipa ganda. Turbulator berfungsi untuk meningkatkan turbulensi aliran sehingga akan meningkatkan perpindahan panas. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan peralatan pemanas air tenaga surya yang sudah ditambah dengan penukar kalor pipa ganda. Pada pipa bagian dalam diberi variasi turbulator bentuk twisted tape full swirl dan twisted tape full swirl wire coil kemudian dialiri fluida oli yang dipanaskan melalui kolektor surya, sedangkan pada pipa bagian luar dialiri fluida air. Pengujian dilakukan di luar ruangan pada kondisi langit cerah dari pukul 10:00 sampai dengan pukul 15:00. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian pada semua variasi pada saat pukul 12:00 dengan intensitas radiasi matahari 789 W/m2, performa terbaik diperoleh pada variasi menggunakan turbulator bentuk twisted tape full swirl wire coil yaitu efektifitas sebesar 0.51, NTU 0.73, dengan peningkatan tempetatur fluida air 3°C.

Abstract

An energy audit is a systematic assessment conducted to evaluate energy consumption and identify opportunities for improving energy efficiency in buildings. This study evaluates electrical energy consumption in three computer laboratories of the D3 PENS Building using the Energy Consumption Intensity (ECI) and Cooling Load Temperature Difference (CLTD) methods. The analysis was conducted based on measurements of room dimensions, indoor environmental conditions, electrical energy consumption, and cooling loads. The ECI values obtained for laboratories JJ-204, JJ-101, and JJ-310 were 24.44, 18.17, and 19.91 kWh/m²/month, respectively, indicating relatively high energy consumption. The CLTD analysis indicated that the cooling load was affected by external and internal heat gains, particularly those generated by occupants and computer equipment. The combined application of CLTD and ECI provides an assessment of the relationship between cooling load and electrical energy consumption. Energy conservation measures were proposed through operational adjustments, air-conditioning maintenance, and refrigerant replacement. The replacement of R-22 with MC-22 was estimated to reduce electricity consumption by 15.40%, corresponding to potential monthly savings of IDR 476,887.95. The study was limited to three computer laboratories under normal operating conditions and did not involve dynamic building energy simulation.
