Abstract :
The design and manufacture of a heat exchanger tank heater based on
Arduino Mega 2560, has been carried out in the Department of Electrical
Engineering, Bengkalis State Polytechnic for 5 months. The aim is to design and
build a heat exchanger tank based on the Arduino Mega 2560, analyze the
electrical energy used by heaters in the heat exchanger tank, and analyze the
power at the water pump used in the heat exchanger tank. The results show that
the average value of the measurement results from the temperature measuring
instrument and thermocouple sensor read with the temperature measuring
instrument 54.2 and the thermocouple sensor 55.2. From the two data reads, it
has a difference of 1.4% by having an accuracy of detecting water temperature
quite well.
