Pengaruh Kadar Bioetanol 50% Sampai Dengan 95% Pada Unjuk Kerja Kompor Etanol

Persediaan bahan bakar fosil semakin hari semakin menipis, hal ini tidak sebanding dengan penggunaan yang semakin meningkat, terutama di sektor industri dan rumah tangga. Oleh karena itu sangat diperlukan energi alternatif untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, salah satunya adalah dengan penggunaan bioetanol pada kompor dalam bidang rumah tangga. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan mengetahui tentang performa kompor bioetanol berbahan bakar bioetanol kadar rendah. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode eksperimen untuk mendapatkan unjuk kerja kompor berbahan bakar bioetanol dengan variasi kadar bioetanol yaitu 50% sampai dengan 95% dengan interval 5%, yang didapatkan dari hasil pencampuran 99% bioetanol dan air suling. Kompor uji yang digunakan berdinding api ganda, lubang udara sebaris untuk diameter dinding api 3 inch dan lubang udara susun untuk diameter dinding api 1,5 inch. Pengujian kompor berdasarkan uji kompor kerosene yaitu metode air mendidih (Water Boiling Test version 3.0 revised January 2007) sesuai Provisional International Standards for Testing Woodstove (VITA 1982 & revised May 1985). Dari penelitian ini kadar bioetanol yang baik digunakan adalah kadar 95% sampai dengan 75%, sedangkan untuk 70% sampai 60% dihasilkan nyala api yang tidak stabil. Kadar 55% sampai dengan 50% tidak dihasilkan nyala api
