Abstract

Rack grate is a component composed of rack clip and rack bone arrangement that serves as a dropping cross-section media of coal and as a media of coal burned in the boiler.  As part of the main component, the rack grate can be regarded as one of the components that ensure the success of combustion in the boiler. Failure to this component will certainly interfere with the implementation of boiler operations. In addition to require the boiler to be shut down while repaired, in addition to requiring the boiler to be extinguished during repairs, the inoperability of the boiler makes the steam production process at the PLTU impossible and ultimately the electricity generation process cannot be carried out as usual. Damage to the rack grate component has a type of plastic deformation with variable loads and fluctuating heat, which means that the thermal stress in the system has reached the yield stress point. To find out the root cause of this component damage quickly and accurately, an analysis of the results of the implementation of engineering software in this case Ansys Workbench, and a comparison of actual operating data, and data design is the best choice. Lastly, by evaluating the optimum values of temperature, equivalent stress and strain, total deformation, input process parameters value can be controlled to the desired values, resulting in less stress concentration occurs, so that the damage to the workpiece can be reduced or even eliminated.

Abstract

Distillation is a technique for extracting Atsiri oils from various plants, one notable example being the Serai Wangi plant (Cymbopogon nardus), a type of herb commonly used in medicine, beauty products, and even as an additive to fuel. Atsiri oils from Serai Wangi can be produced through various methods, such as extraction. The advantage of this method is that it does not require high temperatures, thereby preventing the oil from degrading easily. Consequently, this distillation equipment design was developed to assist farming communities in acquiring an efficient distillation machine. The design process began with a literature study related to the design of distillation equipment. It involved calculating the design of the device and testing the functionality of the distillation equipment. The parameters observed were the effective capacity of the device, its performance, and the yield results. The outcome of this Serai Wangi oil distillation equipment design, featuring an evaporation tank, is that the evaporation process, where the burning furnace heats the water in the tank and steam is directed to the condenser through a connecting pipe, operates efficiently and can produce Atsiri oils of high quality and quantity.
