Abstract
The application of traditional cooling distillation devices is carried out naturally where hot steam is left in the condenser tube. The heat transfer occurs depends on outdoor temperatures (20-25 degree C). The heat transfer is also felt to be ineffective because the time needed is quite long (2-3 hours). Based on these problems, we design a heat exchanger by applying cooling tower model to distillation condenser. Tests are carried out by experimental methods on devices designed to obtain the required temperature data. It is expected to obtain an effective heat transfer rate in terms of the amount of cooling fluid flow. Good difference from average heat transfer rate of 153.276 W/m degree C at discharge 2 l/min to an average of 168.758 W/m degree C at discharge 4 l/min. Increased heat transfer rate is 10.1 percent when fluid discharge is added 2 l/min. The increase in heat transfer rate is 13.7 percent when the fluid discharge is added to 4 l/min from the initial discharge of 2 l/min. The test results show that cooling water fluid discharge influences the rate of heat transfer that occurs because the cooling fluid can be more in contact with cooling area.
