- Abstract
Coconut shell charcoal briquetting usually applies thermal drying with LPG, CNG, and biomass as the common fuel for heating. Fuel price is significant for production cost in addition to raw material and environmental issue. Therefore, its price is subject to fuel price volatility. As the fossil price increases, the production is getting more expensive. An alternative approach for briquetting process using refrigerated drying was proposed. The research aimed to measure the oven performance applying refrigerated drying involving the machine performance and time for removing water content of the briquette. An experiment of drying 132 kg briquette was conducted in an oven of 197.5 cm x 100 cm x 112 cm dimension. The briquettes were cubes of 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm and had been aerated for 2 hours. The refrigerated drying machine has capacity of 715 W and the drying was performed in closed loop air method. It was recorded that the COP machine was 12.20 in average with drying process of 59 hours. The time processing was comparable to conventional one, but the energy price was lower.
