GRAIN BIN CONDITIONING SYSTEM USING HEADSPACE AIR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240008415 titled 'GRAIN BIN CONDITIONING SYSTEM USING HEADSPACE AIR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an air conditioning system and methods for regulating the moisture content of an agricultural product in a grain bin. The system takes in headspace air from the grain bin, which has a higher moisture content than the surrounding air. It also takes in ambient air and mixes it with the headspace air to achieve a desired moisture content. The air mixture is then provided into a grain bin plenum, where it permeates through the agricultural product, effectively regulating its moisture.

  • The system receives headspace air from the grain bin, which has a higher moisture content.
  • It also receives ambient air and mixes it with the headspace air to achieve a target moisture content.
  • The air mixture is provided into a grain bin plenum, where it permeates through the agricultural product.
  • This process helps regulate the moisture content of the agricultural product, bringing it to a preferred level for storage.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be used in grain storage facilities to regulate the moisture content of agricultural products, ensuring optimal storage conditions.
  • It can be applied in various types of grain bins, allowing for efficient moisture control in different agricultural settings.

Problems Solved:

  • Moisture control is crucial in grain storage to prevent spoilage, mold growth, and insect infestation.
  • Traditional methods of moisture control may be inefficient or require manual monitoring and adjustment.
  • This technology provides a more automated and effective solution for regulating the moisture content of agricultural products in grain bins.

Benefits:

  • Ensures the agricultural product is stored at the desired moisture content, preserving its quality and reducing the risk of spoilage.
  • Provides a more efficient and automated method for moisture control, reducing the need for manual monitoring and adjustment.
  • Can be easily integrated into existing grain storage systems, enhancing their functionality and effectiveness.


Original Abstract Submitted

an air conditioning system and methods of use regulate a moisture content of an agricultural product in a grain bin. the system receives headspace air from the headspace of the grain bin, which generally has a higher moisture content than ambient air. the system further receives ambient air and mixes the headspace air and the ambient air into a ratio comprising a target moisture content. the air mixture is provided into a grain bin plenum, where it then permeates through to agricultural product, thereby regulating the moisture. the system and method can be used to bring the agricultural product to a target moisture content that is preferred when storing the agricultural product.
