Abstract

Chili is a type of vegetable that is easily damaged and difficult to maintain in fresh form. The durability of fresh chilies if stored at low temperatures can last up to 14 days, but if stored at room temperature chilies only last about 2-4 days. Because of this, chili prices are always erratic, when chili prices are low, farmers will overcome losses by drying chilies using natural methods of sunlight. This method is considered less effective because it requires a large drying area and relatively long drying time. Therefore, it is necessary to manufacture and test chili drying ovens to speed up the drying process time and increase the durability of chilies. This research method focuses on the process of testing the performance of the drying oven. The test parameter used is using temperature of 70℃ with 3 variations of drying process time, namely 6 hours, 7 hours, and 8 hours to produce dry chili water content according to the standard, which is a maximum of 11%. The results of the chili drying oven research are the best drying time for 8 hours with a temperature of 70℃ which produces a water content of 9.33% cayenne pepper. In addition, the drying oven testing process resulted in a drying efficiency of 35.4%.

Abstract

Solar collector is one of the tools used to harness solar power and then convert it into heat which is used to heat water. The solar collector used is a flat plate type solar collector, the drawback of this solar collector is its low efficiency value. One method that can be used to increase its efficiency is to add twisted tape. Twisted tape serves to increase the value of the nusselt number and reynold number, where the increasing nusselt number and reynold number means the efficiency will increase, the Twisted Tape Ratio is the ratio between the distance of two peaks (H) and the width of the pipe (D). In this study using three variations of the tape ratio, namely 5,4, and 3, at Y = 5 the highest nusselt value and the Reynold number 4000 and Nuselt Number 24 were used, this is because the Twisted Tape ratio is 4 and 3 forms of twisted tape inhibit the flow. which causes a decrease in the value of the nusselt number and reynold number.

Abstract

Most of the Solar Power Plants (PLTS) still use a static system which is considered less effective in absorbing solar energy. This is due to the earth's rotation which causes the sun to not always be in the same position. In order to optimize the absorption of solar energy so that the power produced is stable and maximum, a tracking system is applied to the solar panels. This tool works by using 4 LDR sensors and 2 DC Power Window motors as the driving force and the presence of Wi-Fi as a communication medium between the Arduino ATmega 2560 and the Android application so that the performance of the solar tracker can be monitored via a smartphone in real time. The purpose of this research is to optimize the efficiency of solar panels. The method used in this research is Research and Development (R&D). The test was carried out with the Dual Axis Solar Tracker system against a load in the form of a submersible pump. The test results show the average efficiency of the Dual Axis Solar Tracker system is 20.89% with an average power output of 84.81%.

Abstract

Abstract - Based on the General Requirements for the PUIL 2011 (Persyaratan Umum Instalasi Listrik 2011), there are three types of earthing systems, namely the TN system, the TT system, and the IT system.These three types of earthing function to prevent electric shock that is harmful to humans. Earthing part of the equipment namely open conductive part on the TT system is installed separately, where the open conductive part of electrical equipment is connected directly to the earth in order to limit the amount of voltage between the open conductive part and the earth to the allowable limit if a leakage current is caused due to a failure insulation.The action taken to minimize the occurrence of indirect touch stress is to use an earthing system with the aim of: Conducting current from the metal parts of the equipment that flows through the leakage to the ground through the earth channel, Minimize potential differences between the metal parts of the equipment and the ground so that it is not dangerous if touched.Earthing resistance value on the TT system greatly affects the magnitude of the touch voltage that occurs at open conductive part due to a leakage current due to insulation failure. If the resistance value of the earth electrode exceeds the allowable standard, it can cause the touch voltage that occurs in the open conductive part to exceed the maximum standard based on the PUIL 2011 standard and there is no safety of the MCB or ELCB, it will be dangerous if touched by humans because it can cause damage to the human body and can cause death.

Abstract

Turn ratio test is a comparison test of the number of secondary turns with the primary turns on the transformer. The turns ratio and group vector testing is one of the routine transformer tests. This test generally uses the Transformer Turns Ratio (TTR) test tool, the test equipment used sometimes experiences technical and non-technical problems so a comparative test method is needed to get a good analysis. The research method used is observational research and literature study, namely analyzing the transformer to be studied by conducting TTR testing in two ways, namely testing with test equipment and three-phase low voltage sources, aiming to obtain a very good level of accuracy. The test results were analyzed and compared with theory and calculations, with reference to the IEC 60076-1 standard. The results of the comparison of windings and group vectors using TTR 100 test equipment and a 3-phase low voltage source (TVR) show the same conclusions as the results of the analysis, where the first transformer sample is in normal condition and meets the requirements. SPLN D3.002-1:2007 or IEC Standard 60076-1. While the second sample transformer is in an abnormal condition in the W winding where the difference value is above 0.5%.

Abstract

The use of electricity has now become a primary need for people who are used for activities as an energy source such as: lights, air conditioners, water pumps, washing machines, TVs, etc. and the longer the need for electrical energy in Indonesia is increasing while power plants are constantly increasing, this forces the government to continue to build power plants to meet the needs of electrical energy in the community. Of course, the construction of this power plant uses very large costs and various obstacles, one of the obstacles is that fuel that used to be a power plant used a lot of oil, now switches to gas and coal to reduce high electricity production costs. The research method that will be carried out is by feeding the generator output back into a rotor drive energy source so that there is a continuous circulation of energy so that the generator output can be charged according to the remaining power capacity fed by the generator. Based on the test results, results were obtained using a 25 Watt DC motor when the input voltage was 12 Volts the power generated on the motor was 13.8 Watts with a motor speed of 768 rpm. Testing on an 800 Watt generator obtained a maximum rpm result of 764 and a vout of 13.8 volts. the highest input voltage (Vin) obtained was 10.06 volts, the output voltage (Vout) was 3.9 volts, and the power produced was 41.34 Watts. The prototype design that was tested produced energy even though the results were still not significant.

Abstract

This research was conducted to evaluate air conditioning systems in pharmaceutical warehouses against the ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE ventilation standards 170 ”“ 2008 and SNI-03-6572-2001. The method used is to calculate the cooling load on the FCU (Fan Coil Unit) using the CLTD (Cooling Load Temperature Difference) method and calculate the External Static Pressure on the ducting system. The analysis is carried out by comparing the results of calculating the FCU requirements with the actual specifications that have been implemented. Furthermore, the measurement results of the existing room air condition are compared with the standards for pharmaceutical warehouse applications. The calculation results show that the pharmaceutical warehouse has a cooling load of 47,472.72 Btu/hr, and has an external static pressure of 123 Pa. While the selected FCU (Fan Coil Unit) has a capacity of 78,771 Btu/hr and a maximum external static pressure of 130 Pa with a rated airflow of 4000 m3/hr. After 9 years of use, it is known that the rated airflow has decreased by around 37% of the FCU capacity. Existing room air conditions obtained the extreme temperature and RH of 23.36 °C and 72%, respectively.
