Abstract

This study aims to analyze the performance enhancement of an induced draft cooling tower through modifications to the water distribution piping line, as well as to evaluate the thermal and hydraulic performance before and after modification. The initial system exhibited relatively low cooling effectiveness due to uneven water distribution and limited heat transfer between air and water within the tower. Therefore, the piping layout was redesigned to improve flow uniformity, enlarge the air–water contact area, and minimize heat losses, thereby enhancing overall cooling efficiency. The experimental tests were conducted under identical operating conditions with an inlet water temperature of 38 °C. The results showed that the outlet water temperature decreased from 33.78 °C (before modification) to 28.95 °C (after modification). The range increased from 5.17 °C to 9.12 °C, while the approach decreased from 4.68 °C to 2.61 °C, indicating a more effective cooling process approaching ideal conditions. Furthermore, the cooling capacity showed a substantial increase from 21,717.4 kW to 61,515.1 kW, signifying that the modified cooling tower can dissipate a greater amount of heat and support higher cooling demands in industrial operations. In addition, the system effectiveness improved from 52.45% to 77.58%, demonstrating a significant enhancement in heat transfer efficiency as a result of improved fluid distribution. On the other hand, the total head loss increased from 39.11 m to 63.71 m, indicating higher flow resistance due to the new configuration, but it remained within acceptable limits. Overall, the study concludes that modifying the piping line in the induced draft cooling tower significantly improves thermal performance, cooling effectiveness, and capacity, making the redesigned configuration a viable approach to increase the efficiency of large-scale industrial cooling systems..

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.

Abstract

This study focuses on initiatives to enhance production quantity at PT ABC. The study applied a simulation-based approach using ProModel software to test various improvement scenarios without interfering with actual production activities. The data collected includes processing time at each workstation and machine capacity, which were used to build an accurate simulation model. The simulation results showed a significant increase in productivity from 35 to 78 units per hour after implementing the second improvement alternative involving additional manpower. This study offers practical and data-driven solutions to enhance production efficiency, reduce cycle time, and eliminate bottlenecks. The findings serve as a valuable reference for companies aiming to implement production line optimization strategies and simulation modeling to support continuous improvement in manufacturing performance.
