This research aims to develop the cement board from coconut shell ash. The Portland cement type1: fine sand: tap water ratio is equal to 1: 0.4: 0.33 by weight. The 5 ratios of Portland cement type1: coconut shell ash include 1: 0.12 1: 0.13 1: 0.14 1: 0.15 and 1: 0.16 by weight. The cement board production uses the pressure casting in normal temperature (30 – 35 degree of Celsius) and controls the 0.75 g/cm3 of density then test the properties of cement-bonded fiberboard follow TIS 878-2537 standard (cement bonded particle board: high density). From the results 1: 0.12 is the most suitable ratio of cement board from coconut shell ash. This developed cement boards can reduce the quantity of coconut shell ash waste and have the good thermal insulation.

Recently Hydraulic Press has been generally used as a labor-saving device in several functions through industrial section. Previously most of the factory merely concern about using this powerful device and that caused so much electric energy wasted during the pending process on equipment transformation. Therefore our team initiated a conceptual study of energy consumption on using hydraulic press. The invention of hydraulic press for the study of electric energy requires hydraulic devices installation. This includes 3.7 kW 3 phases system induction motor and VSD hydraulic pump single shaft 2 sets set 1 low flow high pressure at flow rate 3.65 liters per minute and set 2 high flow low pressure at flow rate 6.79 liters per minute and total flow rate 10.44 liters per minute pressure relief valve and 2 ports 2 positions Bypass control valve and 4 ports 3 positions directional control valve double acting cylinder 100 mm diameter and 250 mm stroke and pressure gauge. The experiment on energy consumption using hydraulic press has been considered in 5 cases. Each case operated by different hydraulic devices in order to observe the differences of energy consumption. The result of experiment showed that case 1 had electric energy lost the most the rate of loss will increase as a percentage of the increase in pending. Case 2 to 4 with the lost of electric energy are similar. Case 5 is bringing the case 4 added VSD to adjust the speed of the electric motor is reduced to 435 rpm during the waiting period so this case had the lost of energy is minimal. After comparative experiment between case 1 and the other 4 cases during the pending process on equipment transformation at 20% - 200% it revealed that case 2 reduced electric energy wasted more than case 1 accounted for 17.07% - 30.46% while case 3 to 5 reduced electric energy wasted more than case 1 accounted for 16.06% - 29.52% 17.37% - 30.80% and 23.90% - 50.55% respectively

This research was aimed to investigate for pineapple leaf paper drying. In this study process of drying the paper as a final step after the other. Paper drying time takes in solar energy to dry naturally for at least 2-3 days or more without natural sunshine. Solar hybrid energy dryer was designed for drying faster than traditional drying. The development of solar hybrid energy dryer ability to operate continuously. The solar dryer receives the heat from sunshine by passing into the solar panel dimension 1 x 2.6 m2 . The panel was installed on the top of the oven which declined 15 degree from the ground. The dimension of the oven is 1 x 1.05 x 1.30 m3 and have added heat to paraphrase another 2 rooms and heater 4 kW with controller and have added heat to paraphrase another 2 rooms. The dryer installed heater 4 kW with temperature controller and blower 0.22 kW serves as the circulation of heat in the oven to constant flow of 0.138 m3 / s. Experiment research test 3 types ; the use of solar energy alone the use of solar heater with a temperature of 50 55 and 60 °C and the heater only at 50 55 and 60 °C with three temperature settings. The variables in the study such as temperature humidity in the dryer humidity and Solar energy affect the pineapple leaf paper drying time. Experimental results from solar heater hybrid with 60 °C temperature setting was dried in minimum period of 3 hours and half at an average initial moisture content 1043.70% db to the final moisture content of 9.12% db. Highest average temperature in the dryer was 64.33 °C with electrical energy consumption 10.5 kWh. The use of only solar drying was dried in maximum period of 5 hours at an average initial moisture content 1070.98% db to the final moisture content of 15.84% db. Highest average temperature in the dryer was 39.89 °C with minimum electrical energy consumption 10.5 kWh.

To store electrical power from solar cells are generally used battery as storage. Recent development in capacitor technology achieves with higher capacitancc smaller and low cost especially dcvelopment of a supcr capacitor (doublc laycrs). This research study used a super capacitor to store electrical power from solar cells. The results show that super and electrolyte capacitor can be used without battery with more power density and fast charge. But capacitor discharging must be controlled. The important disadvantage is super capacitor is used with low voltage and high rate of charge leakage. In case of electrolytic capacitor can use with higher voltage low rate of charge leakage but lower capacitance.
