| Ringkasan: | Conventional automotive spray gun is widely used in the automotive industries for
coating and is especially popular among small and medium industries due to its low
cost and maintenance. However studies showed that it also causes overspray of paint
that affect the hygiene factor concerning health and less cost effective when usage of
spray is not properly utilized. Various methods have been used to study the
efficiency of the spray through simulation software and lab approach. In this work,
the simulations of the spray paint are performed from the air cap of the spray gun and
continue until the flat spray surface. The simulations are performed using ANSYS
CFX Version 14.5 based on the Taguchi method. The Taguchi method used in this
study implemented the L’9 orthogonal array, since this case study consists of 3 level
and 3 factor. This simulation utilize paint as a non-Newtonian fluid taking into
consideration the concentration of paint as the additional variable in [kg/m3], air
velocity at the inlet of atomizer, spreader and paint inlet and lastly the recommended
distance (200mm to 250mm) and spray angle (90° to the spray surface area) as
suggested by the spray manufacturers. Results show that the spray angle is
perpendicular to the surface area, the spray pattern has a better concentration of paint
compared to when the angle is arced 45° from the spray surface. Furthermore, at
arced 45° from the spray surface, the overspray can be seen over the intended spray
surface. The most desired simulation result was achieved with, air velocity 1 m/s,
paint velocity 2 m/s at a distance between air cap and spray surface is 200 mm. |
