Eksperimental Water Heater Tipe Helical dengan Memanfaatkan Panas Buang Kondensor Ac Split 3/4 PK Dengan Kapasitas 150 L

Abstract

Basically, AC is used as an air conditioner, especially in hot areas to get thermal comfort. The heat energy that comes out of the condenser can be used to heat the air. This application of conservation energy is called Air Conditioner Water Heater (ACWH). ACWH utilizes hot freon which will flow to the Heat Exchanger which functions to heat the air in the holding tank. Through this, the author would like to convey that the use of ACWH can reduce costs and also save on electrical energy usage, thereby reducing global warming due to AC waste heat. The aim of this research is to analyze the maximum temperature produced by the discharge of the AC condenser to heat the air in the tube and analyze the performance of a water heater using a helical pipe. The results obtained from this research obtained the characteristics of this machine, namely the highest air temperature obtained was 45.2 C in testing with an air capacity of 75 L, the highest compressor power value obtained was 561.0 W, and the lowest was 542.3 W, and the COP was obtained during testing was an average of 3.0 -3.9, while the Standard AC had a COP with an average of 3,338, so this shows that the ACWH system does not have a big effect on the performance of the split AC
