PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN ELEKTROLISER DENGAN VARIASI DIAMETER KAWAT TEMBAGA DAN VARIASI JENIS LARUTAN TERHADAP EMISI GAS BUANG CO DAN HC SEPEDA MOTOR HONDA SUPRAX 125D TAHUN 2007

Abstract

Purposes of the research are to: (1) know effect of electrolyzer application with varied diameters of copper wire on CO and HC exhaust gas emissions of  Motorcycle Honda Supra X 125D 2007; (2) know effect of electrolyzer application with varied solutions on CO and HC exhaust gas emissions of  Motorcycle Honda Supra X 125D 2007; (3) know effect of electrolyzer application with varied diameters of copper wire and varied solutions on CO and HC exhaust gas emissions of  Motorcycle Honda Supra X 125D 2007. The research is a quantitative one with experimental method. Sample of the research is motorcycle Honda Supra X 125D 2007 with machine number of JB51E2015321. The research was performed in Automotive Laboratory of Machine Engineer Education Program of Teacher Training and Education Faculty of Sebelas Maret University of Surakarta assisted by Gas Analyzer Technotes type STARGAS 898 instrument. Data is obtained from CO and HC exhaust gas emissions of the motorcycle with addition of an electrolyzer tube containing varied diameters of copper wire and varied solutions. The data is listed on tables and presented in form of graphics, and then, they are analyzed. Results of the research indicated that: (1) the use of electrolyzer with varied diameters of copper wire had effect on CO and HC exhaust gas emissions of Motorcycle Honda Supra X 125D 2007,based from the measurement data shows that the CO exhaust gas emission levels lower than before the use of electrolysis and HC exhaust gas emissions levels higher than before the use of electrolysis. (2) The use of varied kind of solutions of the electrolyzer was also affecting CO and HC exhaust gas emissions of Motorcycle Honda Supra X 125D 2007,basedfrom the measurement data shows that the CO exhaust gas emission levels lower than before the use of electrolysis and HC exhaust gas emissions levels higher than before the use of electrolysis. (3) the use of electrolyzer with varied diameters of copper wire and varied kind of solutionswas also affecting CO and HC exhaust gas emissions of Motorcycle Honda Supra X 125D2007, based from the measurement data shows that the CO exhaust gas emission levels lower than before the use of electrolysis and HC exhaust gas emissions levels higher than before the use of electrolysis. The conclusions of this study is the use of electrolyzer with varied diameters of copper wire and varied kind ofsolutions  can reduce CO exhaust gas emissions Honda Supra X 125D 2007 the lowest CO exhaust gas emissions is in the amount of 0.072% from 1.669% without the use of electrolysis or down by 95.68% but increase HC exhaust gas emissions Honda Supra X 125D2007 which is an increase of at least 626.667 ppm is from the condition without elektrliser 605 ppmor increased 4.07%. Results of exhaust gas emissions of CO and HC are the best in the can on the use of copper wire of 1.5 mm diameter with KOH solution. the use of electrolyzer with varied diameters of copper wire and varied kind of solutionswas also affecting CO and HC exhaust gas emissions of Motorcycle Honda Supra X 125D 2007 where the lowest CO exhaust gas emissions 0.072 % and HC exhaust gas emissions at the least increase 626.667 ppm.
