ANALISIS PEMANFAATAN SERBUK GERGAJI KAYU DAN EGG TRAY SEBAGAI BAHAN ALTERNATIF TAHAN PANAS PADA GENSET

Along with the development of current technology, so many people use generator sets
as a tool in various fields, one of which is as an alternative source of temporary
electricity. From the increasing use of generator sets in society, many problems are
felt by the community from the use of generator sets, one of the problems often
experienced from the use of generator sets is that it produces excessive heat in the
surrounding environment, causing discomfort in the work area. This study aims to
determine the effect of the use of sawdust and egg trays on the heat damping power
generated by the generator set engine, then determine the highest and lowest values of
the use of sawdust and egg trays on the heat damping power generated by the
generator set engine. This study uses a full factorial method, with a composition of
sawdust (30%, 35%, and 40%) and egg trays (10%, 15%, and 20%) at a specimen
thickness of 10 mm and 20 mm. Based on the test results obtained that the volume
fraction and specimen thickness factors have an effect on the heat absorption
coefficient at a certain temperature with a volume fraction of 30%: 20% with a
thickness of 10 mm obtaining the highest test results and the lowest test results
obtained at a volume fraction of 40%: 10% with a specimen thickness of 20 mm with
the highest heat absorption coefficient value in specimen no. 1 with a volume fraction
of 30%: 20% with a thickness of 10 mm of 43.06 ° C. While the lowest heat application
coefficient value is in specimen no. 6 with a volume fraction of 40%: 10% with a
specimen thickness of 20 mm of 35.8 ° C.
