Abstract

The industrial world is increasingly advanced, especially in the field of air conditioning technology, this is influenced by the development of information systems that are very fast and dynamic. Industries compete to use technology to make their operations more efficient. The cooling machine has made a lot of progress. Currently, various refrigeration machines are not only used to cool rooms and vehicles, but refrigeration machines are also needed to cool the products produced. One of the advances in cooling machine technology is the AKL5500AV chiller machine. This machine is used to cool PBL plastic products produced. The temperature generated by this cooling machine is unstable, so it affects the production results at PT. XXX. This test is carried out by analyzing temperature indicators and wind pressure indicators at different hours and different temperature conditions. To get maximum results, testing is carried out on the chiller machine. The purpose of this test is to see the performance of the chiller and find out the COP value of the chiller. The test results show that the Coefficient of performance (COP) and Performance factor (PF) values produced are not in accordance with the standards. Chiller's COP value was 3.04 and PF was 4.04. This is of course an input that in order to maintain the performance of the cooling machine, maintenance of the chiller machine must be maintained.

Abstract

The metal coating process plays an important role in improving the corrosion resistance and service life of products. One of its main components is the main pot, a refractory container that holds aluminum, zinc, and silicon alloys at high temperatures. The temperature stability of the coating fluid is highly dependent on the performance of the inductor as the main heat source. The problem encountered is that the inductor's capacity is not yet optimal in maintaining the operating temperature, thereby affecting the efficiency of the process and the quality of the coating results. This study aims to analyze the inductor's ability to maintain the main pot temperature, identify factors that affect heating efficiency, and provide recommendations for improving system performance. The methods used include measuring the liquid temperature, recording electrical power, and observing the decrease in coating volume. The results show that four inductors with a total capacity of 1800 kVA only meet about 20–23% of the energy requirements. The fluid temperature can be maintained in the range of 602–608 °C, but tends to decrease over time. The coating volume decreased by an average of 8.05–11.61% during five hours of operation. Increased power capacity and a periodic refill strategy are needed to maintain temperature stability and coating efficiency.

Abstract

The burner in the Continuous Sheet Line (CSL) machine plays a crucial role in generating heat for the steel production process. However, under operational conditions, problems such as explosion and imperfect combustion are often found due to imperfect air-gas ratios. This study aims to analyze the performance of LNG-fueled burners in CSL furnaces, evaluate the influence of Air Flue Ratio (AFR), air and gas distribution on combustion efficiency in each zone, and assess the role of casing materials as insulators on furnace thermal efficiency. The data studied included gas and air pressure, flow rate, furnace temperature, and LNG consumption. Calculations are performed to determine gas flow, airflow, Qinput, Qthermal, AFR, and burner efficiency in each zone (H2-D and H2-W). In addition, thermal analysis was performed on various insulating materials such as ceramic fiberboard, calcium silicate, and micropore silica to assess their effect on heat loss due to conduction and radiation. The results show that burner efficiency is not always directly proportional to the theoretical AFR value. In the H2-D zone with a relatively high AFR (12.55–15.56), the efficiency reached 69%–82%, while in the H2-W zone with a lower AFR (10.86–11.96) the efficiency decreased to 59%–63%. In addition, in some zones such as zones 1, 7, and 8, there is an aberration of the air-gas ratio from the ideal value, with the average airflow being lower than the theoretical standard. From the thermal side, the use of insulation materials with low conductivity such as microporous silica is able to reduce heat loss by more than 80% compared to standard materials. Increased insulation thickness has also been shown to reduce heat loss by up to 50%, especially in areas with high heat exposure.
