PERANCANGAN COWPER GUNA PEMANFAATAN GAS BUANG PELEBURAN LOGAM
Abstract: A prototype of
homemade furnace was built and the highest temperature it can reach during the
trial process is approximately 400OC. Beside liquid metal, the furnace also
produced exhaust gas as a side product. The exhaust gas is still hot. Hot gas
can be used to improve the furnace’s temperaturebased on blast furnace method.
To apply this method, the furnace should be companied with cowper. Indesigning
cowper, several parameters should be notice. The parameters are hot gas
temperature, airflow direction, and its movement ability with the furnace. Hot
gas temperature will determine the number of heat absorber layers. The
direction of the air flow will determine the cowper construction.Movement
ability is associated with space. The design is made based on VDI 2221. The
cowper designconcept is cowper to store hot gas made of ramming refectories
with its outer diameter similar to oiltank and the movement mechanism only
applied for migration.
