Résumé

During the summer of 1994, 4 commercial 121.5-tonne corrugated steel bins of stored popcorn were evaluated for chemical-free pest management and conditioning. The average grain temperature in the core of the chilled bins was 11.3 deg C, which was well below the critical 15-17 deg C limit for most insect development. Grain temperatures in the bins conditioned with ambient aeration never dropped below 23 deg C. Electrical operating costs of chilled aeration were 0.11 cents per kilo of popcorn.
