Abstract

The use of fossil energy as the main source of primary energy reached 84.7%, with electricity consumption in Indonesia of 1,173 kWh/capita, dominated by fossil fuels (67.21%). The decline in fossil energy reserves requires the development of alternative technologies such as the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) that can operate at low to medium temperatures (60°C-200°C). This research was carried out in 2 ways, experiment, and simulation. Experiments were carried out to determine the temperature that can be generated in the evaporator of ORC from the flue gas flow from burning biomass. Simulations were carried out to evaluate the performance of the ORC cycle with working fluids R32 and R134a and the contribution of CO2 to the environment using the LCCP (Life Cycle Climate Performance) method. The analysis involves measuring the outlet temperature of the evaporator. The research results show that the validation for predicting the output temperature of the ORC evaporator is very good with a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) value of <10%. Simulation results show that in this study, R32 performed better than R134a, with a net power of 0.13 kW at a temperature of 86.83℃. LCCP analysis results show that R32 has lower direct emissions than R134a, with better LCCP values. Keywords: LCCP, Organic rankine cycle, R134a, R32, Simulation, Work output.

Abstract

Garlic is an important commodity as a basic spice for various dishes with several health benefits such as lowering blood pressure and improving immune system. Fresh garlic has a high moisture content of 60.9-67.8%, making it highly susceptible to microbial spoilage. The drying process is a critical post-harvest step for garlic that significantly influences product quality and shelf life. This study aims to design a garlic drying system enhanced with solar collector and parafin as a thermal storage medium. Parafin provides heat during periods of low sunlight, allowing continuous drying. The methodology includes the design, construction, and testing of the drying equipment. Functional tests demonstrate effective operation of the dryer components. The results of testing the dryer for drying garlic were able to reduce the water content of garlic from 60% wb to 11.2% wb for 8 h of drying. The use of paraffin has proven to be effective in helping to maintain the drying temperature, especially when the intensity of sunlight is reduced, so that the drying process remains optimal.
