PERANCANGAN ALAT KOMPOR BIOMASSA SEBAGAI ENERGI TERBARUKAN DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN BAHAN BAKAR BRIKET SEKAM PADI
Abstract
Biomass is a promising fuel as a renewable energy source, easy biomass procurement because biomass is generally around the neighborhood. The use of biomass in the cooking process using traditional stoves has low efficiency. This study aims to create and test an efficient biomass gasification stove.
This research it is expected that an efficient biomass stove will be produced. The biomass gasification stove is made from 0.8 mm zinc plate with a burnt tube size of 36 cm high and 32 cm in diameter, and a protective tube 48 cm high and 38 cm in diameter and has a fuel capacity of 3 liters of fuel. Tests are carried out with a standard water heating test. The water is boiled using 3 reactors, which are reactors of 20 holes, 40 holes and 60 holes with rice husk fuel. All tests used 1 liter of water which was repeated three times. Parameters observed include fuel requirements, time to boil water, stove power, and combustion efficiency.
From the results of the comparison analysis, burning 500 grams of rice husk with a 20 hole reactor resulted in an initial flame of 198 ℃ and a final temperature of 141 ℃. Burning with a 40-hole reactor resulted in an initial flame of 346 ℃ and a final temperature of 374 ℃. Whereas the combustion with 60-hole reactors produced an initial flame of 167 ℃ and a final temperature of 312 ℃. The best combustion using a reactor is 40 holes with a better flame with the highest temperature of 390 ℃ in 12 minutes. Because the air entering the hole 40 reactor is better and more stable compared to the 20 hole rectors and 60 holes.
