Peningkatan Efisiensi Sistem Pemanasan dengan Penambahan Grid pada Perforated Burner
Abstract: Efficiency of a
domestic gas stove depend on the kind of burner material and its configuration.
In this study, a material in the form of a grid has been inserted into
combustion chamber to modify flame characteristics. Grids made from stainless
steel with different thickness were inserted between burner and loading.
Ceramic stove cover was used to prevent heat release from flame. To develop the
term of efficiency of the system, many parameters were measured as energy from
fuel, cover temperature and water temperature. The results show that in certain
fuel rate of 45 l/h, a heating system with a grid of 5 mm has maximum
efficiency of 58,8 % indicate a differentiation of 5 % higher compared to the
heating system with no grid. Grid material absorbs energy from combustion
process, keep the temperature in the combustion chamber remain high also induce
turbulence upstream the grid surface causing fuel-air mixing improved.
