Abstract

The charcoal-fired furnace is usually used for Aluminium recycling for the production of cooking utensils in local small-scale Aluminium recycling industries. The performance of such a furnace and manual operated blower was carried out to determine the efficiency and energy consumption in the cause of electrical power failure. Towards this objective, measurements were taken of the quantity of charcoal used for different melts and their corresponding melting times and temperatures. The wheel gear speed ratio of 1:16 was calculated, the energy used was determined and the efficiency calculated. The efficiency obtained for the furnace and the manual-operated blower was 11.6%. The value was obtained as a result of variable atmospheric conditions, non-uniform speed, and the open nature of the environment and the furnace.

Keywords

Aluminum recycling, Charcoal-fired, Furnace blower, Wheel gear, efficiency.
