Abstract

Refrigerant is a crucial cooling component for the refrigeration cycle. In heavy equipment, the cooling system still relies on the R-134a unit with many weaknesses, including global warming effects and other air conditioning system problems. An alternative substitute for R-134a has been found, i.e., a hydrocarbon refrigerant or MC-134. This product has several advantages compared to R-134a, especially its environmentally friendly aspect. It does not contribute to the damage of the ozone layer and is completed with good physical characteristics and thermodynamic properties. Overall, it has better performance than R-134a, proven on the Nissan Evalia unit. This study aimed at testing heavy equipment, especially the D8R caterpillar unit because limited studies discuss heavy equipment regarding its MC-134performance. This research was carried out at the Petrosea Ltd workshop. The research was done through experimental methods. The first stage was retrofitting R-134a with MC-134 on the D8R caterpillar unit. The data collection was conducted ten times with an interval of 3 minutes. The second step WAS using MC-134 and taking the same data as the first step. The compressor work on the MC-134 increased by 145.96% compared to R-134a. The result of the study showed that the heat energy released by the condenser using MC-134 increased by 157.833%. 161.625% for the refrigeration effect, and 5.21% of The COP value, respectively, compared to R-134a.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap pentingnya kebersihan lingkungan pesisir melalui aksi bersih pantai di Pantai Dusit Kota Balikpapan. Metode pelaksanaan dilakukan melalui partisipasi aktif dosen dan mahasiswa Program Studi Teknik Mesin Universitas Balikpapan dengan pendekatan aksi langsung dan edukatif. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan terjadinya pengurangan sampah pesisir, meningkatnya kepedulian lingkungan peserta, serta terbangunnya kesadaran kolektif masyarakat sekitar. Kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi model pengabdian berkelanjutan dalam pelestarian lingkungan pesisir.
