Experimental equipment for investigation of soybean storage with active ventilation

Abstract

The article investigates and substantiates the operating modes of container-modular equipment with active ventilation, such as specified (real) productivity, power consumption of the conveying process, as well as the use of a progressive method of controlling the humidity and temperature in soybean storage volume. The experimental equipment which adequately simulates the proposed technology for soybean storage with active ventilation for the calculated data verification was developed-The experiments confirmed that the proposed experimental equipment enables to adequately simulate the process of soybean storage with active ventilation and conduct experiments with the regulation of basic parameters such as productivity, power consumption, humidity, etc. using modem methods, devices and digital technologies. The experimental results were presented. Humidity and temperature were monitored during the experiments using the "Strazh Klimat" software. The experimental data were obtained, enabling to establish the dependence of the conveying height on the air flow velocity.
