STUDY PLAN

My name is Fikri Rahmat Fasya, I am a Master Program student at National Chin-Yi

University of Technology majoring Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Energy Engineering. I
graduated from Politeknik Negeri Bandung in 2016. I hope that I can be an expert Refrigerating,
Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning engineer and also a competence consultant in the
future.
I was born in Ciamis, West Java, Indonesia on August 3 rd, 1993. I am the first child of my
parents but I also have 7 older step brother and sisters from my father. In 2012 after I finish my
high school, I entered Politeknik Negeri Bandung and majored at Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineering. I have learned many courses related with my major like
thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, basic and applied refrigeration system (both
theoretic and practice), basic and applied air conditioning system (both theoretic and practice),
refrigeration and air conditioning project and many more. I also took some courses that support
my skills like measurement technic, automatic control system, programming, workbench, etc.
During the four-year long studying I also have conducted internship for two times. My first
internship program conducted in PT. ANTAM (Persero) Tbk., which is a national mining
company located in Bogor City. I positioned in the Mine Planning and Development department
and I specially deal for mining ventilation. Some of my responsibilities is to monitor the air
condition (air flow, velocity, the air availability in some points and also the air quality), calculate
the work efficiency of mining sites and make some periodic report that ordered. From that
opportunity I learned many things about the air condition deep in the mine and also the thermal
comfort. My second internship conducted in National Chin-Yi University of Technology at
Precision Manufacturing Laboratory. From my second internship I learned about the effect of
temperature rise to the spindles displacement in CNC machine. This become a very important
issue in precision manufacturing technology because a little displacement might cause a failure
and design flaw after the component have been manufactured. So, to prevent this the CNC
machine uses the cooler oil which has been refrigerated to maintain the temperature. Before I
graduated from my college, I have finish my final project titled The Design of Air Cooler and
Dehumidifier System with Hot Gas Bypass as Reheat Media. The system used a single
refrigeration unit to maintain the temperature and RH value in a designed room. By all these

experiences I become interested in refrigeration and air conditioning utilities for process and also
for comfort.
Refrigeration, Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (RHVAC) goals is to provide
thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality without causing any negative impact to the
environment, at least as minimum as possible. The RHVAC technology needed by any sector but
it also has typical weaknesses like environmental causing issues and a bigger energy
consumption compared to another system. As the development of technology, the demands of
energy consumption development, the ecofriendly system, a precise control plan and the system
precision become more growing as well as improved the systems performance. Therefore, my
study plan covers all aspects that can meet this development. It is necessary to conduct research
on refrigeration and air conditioning machine that has a low energy consumption with minimum
impact to environment and has a very good performance.
My study plans for my master degree is to conduct some research about the cooling and
dehumidification systems and its relevance to indoor air quality and standard air condition for
some process. I really want to help the Indonesian development in the future, so I can apply my
knowledge and ability. Indonesia is a tropical country which only has two seasons and the
average annual temperature range is from 26-32 C for each region and the annual RH range is
40-90 %. Some region has a high daily temperature with high relative humidity especially in dry
season, it depends to its location and climate characteristic. Because of this condition, a
refrigeration and air conditioning system which can maintain temperature and RH is needed in
order to provide thermal comfort for residential sector and also support some industrial and
manufacturing process especially the dry process production industry. One of the probably used
system is by using a refrigeration system combined with desiccant dehumidifier to maintain the
temperature, humidity ratio and also relative humidity. Because desiccant could not change the
temperature so it is need refrigeration system to do that. In my study I have a plan to conduct
some research to find the suitable heat source for cooling and dehumidification system with low
energy consumption.
