Abstract

This article presents an investigation of the actual cooling effect on a lab-scale prototype of LPG-fueled vehicles. The cooling effect is obtained from heat absorption by LPG on the vaporizer. Water with a mass flow rate of 1, 2 and 3 lpm is flowed from the cooling box to the LPG evaporator and flow back to the cooling box. The car used in this study has a capacity of 1500 cc that rotates 1000, 1500, and 2000 rpm. The results showed that there was a relationship between cooling power with the increase in engine speed and mass flow rate of water that crosses the evaporator. The biggest cooling power is 378 Watts at 1000 rpm with a water mass flow rate of 3 lpm.

Abstract

Liquified petroleum gas (LPG) storage tanks are essential components for storing and distributing fuels. However, system failures due to inspection flaws increase the risk of leaks, fires, and explosions. Therefore, this study discussed the development of a safety system application applied to LPG storage tanks based on a risk-based leak (RBL) analysis. Data associated with risk factor values were obtained from an LPG storage tank in a gas distributor company. The risk of failure was calculated by analyzing the probability of failure (PoF) and the consequence of failure (CoF). The results showed that the level of risk observed was medium-high with a PoF in category 1 at a total damage factor value of 1. Furthermore, the CoF in category E was positioned with a consequence analysis value of 2381.29 m2 with an LPG storage tank life span of 33.5 years and an external inspection interval of five years.
