Abstract

The development of air temperature mobile device for the monitoring of cooling tower fouling is reported in this report. Usage of conventional measurement may cause to less on accuracy and harm the worker. Mobile device was applied as a medium to sensor device to monitor the occurance of fouling and overcome the weaknesses occur. Material and equipment selection is made based on the suitable specification required to use on cooling tower before fabricating and assembling process. A conceptual design was drew to identify the size and overview air temperature mobile device. This device then used in measuring the output air temperature of cooling tower. The different position of sensor device was used as parameter of measurement to determine the accuracy and effectiveness. Temperatures recorded was tabulated and calculated the average for each fan on all trains. The results for both position then being compared and discussed. The difference for both value at each fan on train 1 is about 0.73oC to 1.57oC. Some factors affecting the difference in value because of distance from sensor to the fan between DS and US about 10cm. Then, there is blockage by RC Quadcopter for US measurement which reduce the temperature detected. From the comparison, it can be concluded that developing mobile sensor device can overcome the weaknesses in measuring output air temperature upon cooling tower.
