Otomatisasi Sistem lnjeksi Etilen Dalam Pematangan Buatan

Abstract

Automation of ethylene injection system was done by controlling the opening time of solenoid valve based on the quantity of material, free volume of artificial ripening room, concentration of ethylene in tube and trigger. The programmable ethylene injection system eases the ripening process and results in good product. The result of the controlling system showed that the coefficient of correlation of ethylene between the experiment and calculation was 0.947 with a standard deviation of 13.95 and standard error of 4.93. Leak of gas must be prevented in the mechanism of ethylene injection system of artificial ripening integrated with temperature and C02 control.
