PENGUJIAN KINERJA KOMPOR TEKAN MENGGUNAKAN BAHAN BAKAR ALTERNATIF MINYAK KAPUK (Ceiba petandra)
ABSTRACT: The aim of the
experiment is to analyze the influence of transesterification and degumming
processes to the physical characteristic of kapok oil and to know the
combustion performance of pressurized stove using oil result from degumming and
transesterification. The performance test of pressurized stove consists of two
factors. First factor is pressure (0.7 and 1 bar), the second factor is the
kind of fuel; kerosene, degumming and transesterification. The result shows the
combustion performance of pressurized stove using oil from transesterification
process has the same performance using kerosene, this is evaluated from the
physical characteristic of the oil and the combustion performanced. The
physical characteristic analyzed were viscosity, density and calorific value,
while the parameters of pressurized stove performance that was monitored were
burning time, flame quality, nozzle clogging, fuel consumption, burning
velocity, burn efficiency and stove energy. The pressure of pressurized stove
was significant influence to the fuel consumption, flaming velocity, burn efficiency,
and stove energy.
Key words: Kapok oil,
