Abstract

In the midst of various other energy needs, cooking has received special attention in energy consumption due to the scarcity of fuel for cooking which is currently commonly used by the community. The scarcity is directly proportional to the increase in fuel prices. Currently, many alternative energies are being developed, one of which is cooking using solar power. In this study, an experimental study of the effect of the number of plate bends on the solar cooker carried out. This study aims to determine the effect of the number of curvatures of the plate on the performance of a solar cooker. The number of curved aluminum plates in the solar cooker was expected to be able to expand the area of absorption of solar heat, thereby increasing the temperature of the air inside the solar cooker. The solar cooker also adds an absorbent plate in the shape of a flower-like arc. Variations in the number of arches to be studied are 6, 8, and 12 arches. The method used in this study is an experiment in actual conditions. Research result show solar stoves with 12 curved walls have a higher temperature increase and heat absorption compared to 6 and 8 arches. This is because 12 arches have a wider solar heat absorption area.

Abstract

Most of the refrigerant used in split-type AC machines is HCFC type R-22, which can potentially damage the ozone layer and global warming. Musicool-22 is a trade name for the hydrocarbon refrigerant R-290, an alternative refrigerant that can replace R-22. Tests were carried out on the test equipment by comparing R-22 and Musicool-22 with the same variation of thermal load. Based on the test, the performance of the two working fluids can be determined by determining the coefficient of performance (COP) and comparing it with various cooling loads. In addition, it is proven that using Musicool-22 can save electrical energy and the power value of the compressor. The data measured are temperature, pressure, voltage, and electric current. Based on the results of calculations carried out by changing R-22 to Musicool-22, it shows that the COP value increases. The highest COP of R-22 is 2.45 at an 80-Watt load, and Musicool-22 is 4.21 at a 320-Watt load. The application of Musicool-22 can save electrical energy by 15.40%. Moreover, it saved electricity usage costs of IDR 44,450.53 per month.
