- Abstract
The use of boilers in the tofu processing process is very helpful for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Heating using a boiler shows a greater increase in efficiency compared to using conventional methods. The use of a vertical boiler is considered less efficient for use in the tofu processing process because the steam capacity is relatively small and runs out quickly, this is possible because the heating area is also limited. Therefore, a horizontal boiler is used to increase the heating area so that the steam needed is sufficient to process the tofu. Apart from that, fuel also has a big influence on the boiler heating system. The aim of this research is to see how much energy efficiency the fuel used in horizontal boilers for cooking tofu has. The fuel used in this research was wood and coconut shells. The method used in this research is an experimental method by varying two types of raw materials and varying the air input for each fuel used. The changing parameters seen are the length of the tofu cooking process, distribution throughout the combustion chamber, steam capacity and steam pressure and energy efficiency fuel used. The research results show that this horizontal boiler has steam production capacity, temperature and steam pressure distribution, energy efficiency and higher specific costs of steam production using coconut shell fuel which is better than wood fuel. This means that using wood fuel is cheaper but provides better performance lower.
