Abstract

Research has been carried out on "Design of a Clothes Dryer Technology Tool by Utilizing Waste Coconut Shell Charcoal Based on Arduino UNO" using an experimental method. This Arduino UNO-based clothes dryer technology uses biomass energy from coconut shell charcoal which is used as an energy source by using the mass of biomass used, namely 1400 grams for thin clothes and 4000 grams for thick clothes. Measurement of temperature in the drying chamber using the DHT22 sensor with an observer time interval of 10 minutes. The results of the research data obtained using a mass of 1400 grams of coconut shell charcoal for this type of thin clothing reached the highest source temperature and temperature in the drying chamber respectively 71.00 °C and 69.00 °C, while for a mass of 4000 grams of shell charcoal coconut with thick clothes, namely 106 °C and 93.40 °C. This happens because the energy produced by the biomass works to transfer heat from the source to the drying chamber, so that the temperature value of the source of the biomass combustion chamber is higher than the temperature in the drying chamber and the temperature resistance of the drying chamber lasts for 200 minutes.
