Abstract
Tunning up vehicles are routine, expensive, and time-consuming activities for vehicles owner. Prototype Portable Electrical Water Decarbonizer offers a new concept of cheap, easy, fast, effective and enviromental friendly tune up. This research is also solution for PT. YTL Paiton Probolinggo’s problem. This research will started by the calculating and design the generator for split up water into two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom through electrolysis as the main component of prototype. From these calculations, a prototype will made as an Applied Technology Product. Changes in the performance characteristics of the generator will be analyed for one hour by its temperature, current, voltage, power, gas production flowrate, and the visualization of the combustion chamber as the effect of decarbonizer. Research result indicate : voltage recorded 12V min., 12.5V max. and 12.24V average; current recorded 19,34A min., 20,39A max. and 19.81A average; power recorded 239,25Watt min., 244,79watt max. and 242.72Watt average; electrolite water temperature 25oC min., 64 oC max., 50.51 oC average; gas production flow rate 0.925 L/min min., 1.479 L/min max.,1.27 L/min average. The before and after piston photograph indicated that this prototype decarbonize working properly
