| Summary: | One form of utilization of biomass gasification applications are used for
household and industry for cooking and drying of agricultural materials. To be burned
and used in cooking and drying purposes, it is necessary the media burning like stove.
Development of a low-pressure gas stoves required for the purposes of combustion
gases of biomass gasification. This research was conducted for the development of
gasification stove design with forced air flow for drying applications.
Research on the development of gasification stove design is done by through
two treatments that vary the number of primary holes and air discharge variation.
Treatment on the number of primary holes made by 4 variations include the number
5, 10, 15, and 20 holes. Treatment on the air discharge made by making openings at
forced air flow include full aperture, aperture openings ½ and ¾. Performance of
stove measured by 4 position of flame temperature which interval position is 5 cm.
Analysis is based on the influence of the number of holes and the air discharge
temperature distribution.
The results of research indicate that treatment on the number of primary holes
on gasification stove provides a very real influence on the temperature at point T3
and T4. However, the air discharge treatment identified no significant effect at any
point. Best stove design results indicated in the treatment of 20 holes number wherein
each hole diameter of 7 mm and the treatment of air discharge 0,015 m
3
/s (aperture
½).
