PENGARUH KIPAS TERHADAP WAKTU DAN LAJU PENGERINGAN MESIN PENGERING PAKAIAN
Abstract: The purpose of this
research, in addition to design and assemble clothes dryers, as well as to
determine the influence of the fan in the space of clothes dryers with respect
to the time required for drying clothes and the rate of drying clothes, with
initial conditions wet clothes different i.e the results of squeeze of hand and
the results of squeeze of washing machine. Research carried out on the clothes
dryer that works with electric energy sources and using the vapor compression
cycle. Total electric power required is 2,588 kW. The clothes dryer works to
get dry air at a high enough temperature that can be used for drying clothes.
The clothes dryer works with open systems, meaning that the air which has been
used for drying clothes immediately dumped out of the clothes dryer. The
working fluid used in drying clothes is the outdoor air, whereas the working
fluid that is used for the vapor compression cycle is R134a. The research was
conducted by using 50 batik clothes from Pekalongan, size XL, which has a total
dry weight of 7660 grams. Research results: (a) the clothes dryer can work well
without a jam occurs during machine work, when no load, the air condition in
the space of clothes dryers has a dry bulb temperature 72°C and wet bulb
temperature 29.3oC (b ) for the initial conditions of the wet clothes outcome
of squeeze of hand, the presence of the fan working in the space of clothes
dryers is able to shorten the drying time of the clothes about 40% and can
increase the rate of drying clothes about 67% (b) for the initial conditions of
the wet clothes outcome of squeeze of washing machine, the presence of fan
working in the space of clothes dryers is able to shorten the drying time of
clothes approximately 39% and can increase the drying rate of about 65%.
