Analisis Sistem Perpipaan Pada Hidroponik Sistem Deep Flow Tehnique

Abstract

Hydroponics is water management that is used as a medium for plant growth, deep flow technique hydroponics is a hydroponic system that circulates water continuously in a closed flow circuit using a pump. DFT hydroponics. This research was carried out by paying attention to the piping system and drawing the installation of the piping system using the Inventor software and then testing. Data collection was carried out by analyzing the supply system, calculating the flow rate, determining the type of flow and performing a strength simulation on the DFT hydroponic rack using the Inventor software application. The research shows the flow rate is 1.43 L/minute and the pump flowrate is 10 L/minute so that the water supply efficiency is 0.143 L/minute (14%). The resulting Reynolds value is 1304.61 m2/s, so the flow that works is laminar flow. Based on the simulation results, the maximum stress on the DFT hydroponic rack is 1616 MPa while the load on the DFT hydroponic rack is 37.8426 MPa so it is safe to use.Keywords:Piping system, hydroponic deep flow tehnique
