Abstract

Indonesia as the largest producer of palm oil, produced 35 million tons in 2016. The increasing demand consequently generates huge amount of Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) as the main solid waste. So far, EFB has been utilized for fertilizer. However, EFB consist of high fibre content which exhibit low thermal conductivity that provide a suitable condition for the core replacement of insulated sandwich panel. Therefore, the research objectives were to identify the suitable EFB fibre size, adhesive concentration, thermal conductivity of EFB sandwich panel and internal condensation inside the panel. This research experiment consists of shredding, milling, refining and drying of EFB, as well as forming and covering process of core panel. PVC based adhesive was chosen as the adhesive used in this experiment. The thermal conductivity and the internal condensation of sandwich panel were conducted in a steady state heat transfer in a glass container. Based on the experiment, shredded EFB fibre indicates better performance than milled EFB fibre. Higher concentration of PVC based adhesive is preferred to formed a compact core panel and exhibit low thermal conductivity. The result shows that the thermal conductivity value of all samples are in the same range with the reference and no internal condensation inside the sandwich panel.
