Rancang Bangun Test Bed Ac Split Sebagai Media Praktikum Teknik Sistem Pendingin

Abstract

The development of air conditioning system technology and the increasing need for practical learning facilities encourage the development of equipment that can be used for safe and
structured observation and testing of refrigeration systems. This study aims to design and develop a split air conditioning test bed as a practical learning medium for refrigeration
engineering to support learning activities and further research in the field of refrigeration. The research method employed a design and development approach consisting of the design
stage, frame fabrication, component assembly, measurement instrument installation, and functional testing. The results show that the test bed was successfully developed according
to the design specifications, all system components operated properly, and the measurement instruments were able to display the system operating parameters, facilitating observation
during practical activities. The component layout and instrumentation also provided convenience in operation, maintenance, and data collection. Based on these results, the split air conditioning test bed is considered suitable for use as a practical learning medium for refrigeration engineering and can serve as a supporting facility for refrigerant testing in future research.
