Kaji Eksperimental Efek Ketinggian Cerobong Terhadap Karakteristik Pembakaran Pada Unit Tungku Garam Semi Modern
Abstract: Lives of traditional
salt farmers increasingly concerned about the unfavorable business caused by
the difficulty in obtaining fuel. The use of traditional stoves for salt
farmers also without a good smoke channel, making smoke pollution that is
harmful to health, and also interferes with the farmers and the environment
while producing salt. Therefore, it should be considered a solution to address
both of these issues by improving the combustion process that occurs in the
combustion chamber and by utilizing the exhaust gas heat as a preheater in the
salt process. Good combustion requires sufficient air supply with a certain
excess air so that the combustion process is perfect. Air supply can be done by
utilizing the natural drought affected by the height of the chimney. Utilization
of flue gas has been done by creating a configuration flue gases channel
through the multiport stove. Testing with chimney height variation needs to be
done toget the optimal height so that stove can work with a good performance to
produce salt. The results showed that the optimum height of the chimney in the
semi-modern salt stove is at a height of 1.55m with a thermal efficiency of
48.6%.
