Management Temperature on Cooling Time in Control Room KM Gunung Dempo

Abstract

To get optimal comfort conditions in tropical climates such as Indonesia, a system is needed that regulates the air situation based on humidity, heating, and cooling of the air in the room. This condition aims to provide comfort and stabilize the temperature in the condition of the body of every human being. Air conAn airing system, known as Air Conditioning (AC) is on,e a tool to condition the room to remain at a stable temperature.

Temperature regulation is closely related to controlled systems with temperature changes. The control sets or controls one or several specific quantities (variables, parameters). The temperature regulation system consists of inputs or set points that state the current state of the area or reaction to the system, outputs that state the output or action of the system, and plants that are controlled or controlled objects.

This study used quantitative research methods with a percentage descriptive approach by comparing the Effect of temperature regulation on the indoor cooling time of around 48m2. The Air Conditioning used in this study is Daikin half PK by ignoring the age of the product. The analysis requirements test used using classical assumption tests include normality tests, linearity tests, autocorrelation, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity to measure the magnitude of the influence of temperature regulation on cooling time.

The results showed that temperature regulation affects the cooling time. Based on the H1 hypothesis, a simultaneous significance score (F test) was obtained with a value of 126.109 and a significance score of 0.000 with a significance score criterion < 0.05; then H0 was rejected, so it can be concluded that temperature regulation affects cooling time. The magnitude of the influence of temperature regulation on cooling time is 93.8%. In comparison, 6.2% is influenced by other things that are not studied, for example, outdoor temperature, room tightness, and the number of people and equipment in the room. Based on this study, temperature regulation substantially contributes to cooling time, so it is necessary to regulate the temperature in the efficiency of using electrical energy. The author suggests the importance of regulating room cooling with ideal temperatures in room cooling systems and the use of inverter technology in continuous use as an effort to reduce global heating.
