Steam Boiler Design Using Diesel Motor Exhaust Gas

Abstract

As it is known that the boiler is a device used to heat water. This research is conducted to propose another alternative in energy saving efforts by utilizing exhaust gas energy from Diesel motors which so far have not received much attention. The exhaust gases is reused to react the boiler. The method used in design this tool uses the literature study method. The data is taken from the exhaust gas of a 9 x 12 x 4 cylinders Diesel engine with a speed of 300 rpm and Mep 80 Psi, engine power (N) 92.4 Hp. From the results of this study, the results show that the size of the steam pipe with pipe outer diameter (OD) is 1 in, spaced 1 in, the number of rows is 2 rows, the number of pipes in one row Z = 12 rows, with carbon steel pipe material SA 106 Grade. Meanwhile, the size and arrangement of the economizer pipes are the outer diameter of the pipe (OD) 1 in, the spacing = 2 in, the number of rows = 6 rows, the total number of pipes Z = 2 x 6 = 12 pieces, the overall length of the pipe is L x 12, the economizer pipe = 644 in, and SA 106 Grade carbon steel pipe material. The thickness of the boiler drum t = 0.245 cm, capacity Q = 536.75 lb/hour, and the boiler drum material is SA 302 Grade B carbon steel.
