Setting Of The Drying Thermostat - Mepu K-SERIES Operating Manual

Note that during the drying process the values can vary depending if the outdoor
temperature is low.

6.4.5 Setting of the drying thermostat

Type of the drying thermostat: LAE LTR-5TSRE
Function: The thermostat adjusts the switch-over of the dryer from the drying phase to the cooling
phase. During the drying process the exhaust air temperature is displayed on the screen.
When the drying process starts the thermostat is set to a sufficiently high temperature,
e.g. 50 °C.
Indication: The LED light on the top right corner of the thermostat screen, next to the OUT1 text,
shows the status of the thermostat. No light => drying, light on => cooling.
Setting: To set the value keep the
up by pressing
stored in the memory.
Use: As the drying process progresses measure the grain humidity with the moisture meter.
When the desired moisture content is achieved read the value displayed on the
thermostat screen.
After that set the thermostat according to the instructions above to a value, which is 0.1
°C lower than the value displayed on the screen.
Example: The desired grain humidity is 13%. When the moisture meter displays 13%, the exhaust
air temperature value on the thermostat screen is 37.5 °C. The thermostat is setting is
adjusted to 37.4 °C.
In this case the dryer shall switch over to the cooling phase, provided that the
temperature is still 37.5 °C.
The drying result varies slightly depending on the grain variety, and therefore it is
advisable to establish the values for each individual variety experimentally. If the
temperature of the air flow from the fan changes considerably, this also affects the
drying result. Furthermore, if the outdoor temperature is much lower than the set values,
e.g. during night time, the set values are changed vis-à-vis the day settings.
