Development and evaluation of aeration control strategies for maintaining stored grain quality.

Author(s) : CHANG C. S., STEELE J. L.

Type of article: Article

Summary

A simulation model was developed to evaluate the temperature and moisture conditions of grain during storage with different aeration control strategies. The simulation was based on wheat stored in 6.6-m-diameter steel bins to a depth of 3.6 m. Local hourly weather data and air flow rates during aeration were used as model inputs. Ambient air and grain temperatures, and equilibrium moisture content of grain at ambient conditions were used as the aeration control parameters for different aeration seasons. Results are given.
