EFEK PEMANASAN CAMPURAN BIODIESEL DAN MINYAK SOLAR TERHADAP KONSUMSI BAHAN BAKAR PADA BOILER
Abstract: Along with the
government’s mandatory regardings biofuel utilization in industrial equipments,
the testing of biodiesel use in the boiler is developed. In anticipation of
physical properties of biodiesel such as higher viscosity and density and lower
calorific value than diesel fuel, it is important to make several attempts, one
of them is by heating the fuel blends. Beside emissions and efficiency, one
important performance indicators which considered in boiler operations is the
fuel consumption. This study examined the use of biodiesel - diesel oil blends
from the composition of biodiesel 10%, 20%, 30%, and 100 % in a fire tube
boiler with pressure of 3 bars. Temperature variation is conducted by
installing a oil heater in the fuel tank, which temperature set at intervals of
40-70 oC. The results showed fuel consumption is not linear with the increase
of heating temperature. For all the fuel
blend compositions, the lower fuel consumption occured at 60 oC of heating.
