ANALISIS PERFORMANSI PROTOTIPE PENGERING JAMUR KUPING DENGAN MEMANFAATKAN EFEK RUMAH KACA DAN ENERGI SUPLEMEN DARI BIOBRIKET LIMBAH LOG BAG

Abstract: The aim of this research is to evaluate of temperature distribution and solar radiation in the greenhouse effect Auricularia sp. mushroom drying. This  research  also  determined  drying  efficiency  of  greenhouse  effect. Greenhouse effect dryer prototype is made to dry Auricularia sp.  mushroom. The dimension of prototype is length 3 m,  width 3 m and height 3 – 2.7 m with roof at an angel. Drying of mushroom is done by exploiting greenhouse effect and adding with stove biobriquette as supplement energy at a cloudy or in the night. Biobriquette is made from 25 % coal and 75 % log bag waste of ear mushroom. Combustion rate from burning of biobriquette  is 0.56 kg/hour. Analysis  of  experiment  is  done  to  obtain  performance  from  drying  of  ear mushroom.  Experiment  is  done  to  dry  mushroom  about  1  kg  in  the  three batch. The solar radiation of the greenhouse decrease 30% from surrounding. But, the air temperature of  green house increase 11,7% from surrounding temperature.  
Key  words:  Drying,  greenhouse  dryer  prototype,  biobriquette,  drying efficiency
