Design and Build for Car Radiator Test Equipment with Capacity of 1300 Cc and 1000 Cc

Abstract

This research aims to design and build a radiator test equipment for cars with engine capacity of 1300 cc and 1000 cc. This tool can regulate the mechanism of the flow rate of air passing through the radiator, and the flow rate of water that integrates into the radiator which is useful for generating valid test data. This tool can read the ability of the car radiator to reduce the heat from the car engine and get the results of testing the car radiator using the temperature acquisition data tool. Car radiator test equipment was equipped with air conditioning and venturi meter. This study used the SNI 07 2054 elbow profile iron frame with a dimension of 40 x 40 x 4 mm to withstandthe load from the airways and blow on it. The time needed to heat the water from an initial temperature of 27 °C to 80 °C with 20 liters of water and water heaters with 1000 watts of power is 37.1 minutes.
