Abstract

Clogging of Trash at the Micro Hydro-Power Plant can reduce the discharge, head, and micro-hydro production. Trash racks are currently less efficient in solving Trash clogging, so it needs appropriate technology innovation with the Horizontal Trash rack Diverter Trash (HTDT) which functions to get rid of or divert Trash. Diversion of Trash as well as increasing and stabilizing the discharge is important so that the innovation of adding a flow steering valve is needed (HTDT+V). The results of the research at β20° is the most optimal angle, the highest speed at the intake channel Cm4 V 0.7 m/s and HTDT + V β20° V 0.8 m/s occurs an increase in speed. Trash paste time β20° t 2.76 seconds, faster than the angle β0°, β5°, β30° Trash paste time t3.5 seconds. The HTDT+V installation increases the inflow velocity (V) in the intake channel by 60% and increases the discharge (Q) by 50%.
