ANALISA PENGARUH KATALIS TEMBAGA PADA KATALYTIK KONVERTER TERHADAP EMISI GAS CARBON MONOKSIDA DAN HIDRO KARBON PADA KENDARAAN MOTOR BENSIN
Abstract: The growth of motor
vehicles in Indonesia is quite fast to bring the influence of the increased
usage of fuel oil, so that the air pollution becomes inevitable. Motor vehicles
are the largest source of pollutant emissions and contribute to the Carbon
Monoxide of the pollutants that exist, where from year to year pollution levels
increased along with the increasing use of motor vehicles. One of the things
that can be done by researchers in this application is the installation of
emission control teknology Catalytic Converters are installed in the exhaust
gas channel. Catalytic Converter
generally use this type of expensive metal catalysts and rare in the market
(Palladium, Platinum and Rhodium). Based on the fact above, so we do by making
"'Design of Catalytic Converter with using metal copper (Cu) as
catalyst.This research aims to design a catalytic converter get up, to know the
efficiency of the use of metals Copper (Cu) as a catalyst and to determine the
effect of CO emissions in motor vehicles.
Measurement of the concentration
of Carbon Monoxide gas emissions in the exhaust gas channel carried on standart
conditions using Gas Analyzer tool. From the results of this in I find that the
use of Catalytic Converters Copper (Cu) with a variety plate and the
fibers are made of copper as a catalyst
to reduce CO Flue gas emissions. Efficiency decrease in CO concentration of
0.01% by using 0.2 mm Cu and copper fibers. Output CO concentration are largely
influenced by changes in engine speed and vehicle fuel and air mixture entering
the combustion chamber. In general, the use of Catalytic Converter does not
affect the performance of vehicle engines.
