2. Heat/Energy: The burner that sits directly behind the blower heats the air filling the plenum chamber, and transfers the heat to the grain. The heat releases the moisture from the grain. The accurate control of this heat is what makes the equipment energy efficient. The most effective way to regulate the control of this energy is through a gas control valve that opens and closes to allow fuel supply to change to keep the plenum temperature stable. 3. Time: refers to the time the grain is spent inside the dryer. The time that the grain is exposed to both air and heat determines how much moisture is driven out of the grain. The longer the exposure, the more moisture removal occurs. Thus, the best method for controlling the amount of moisture removal in the grain is to increase and decrease the grain metering system of the dryer. The slower the metering system operates, the longer the grain is exposed to air and heat and the moisture removal is increase. The faster the metering system operates, the shorter the grain retention time and the moisture removal of grain is reduced. The easiest way to keep good grain quality and accurate control is to keep heat and air consistent while varying only grain retention time. This has proven to be the most common and efficient Figure 1: "Air Flow Infinity Series" way to dry grain. Introduction DOC‐I01‐0811 1.1 ...

If the static air pressure drops because of fan failure, the air pressure switch opens, stopping current flow to the ignition switch. The gas solenoid valves will close and the burner will shut down. 2. The Air Pressure switch is designed to protect the dryer from fire that may result from fan (air flow) failure while the burner is ignited and flame is present. ...

Turn the adjusting screw out (counter clockwise) until the air pressure light comes on. After the Air Pressure light comes on, turn the adjusting screw out an additional ¼ to ½ turn to allow for normal changes in static pressure. ...
I N F I N I T Y S E R I E S O P E R A T I O N S M A N U A L Filling the Dryer There is an adjustable 0 to 3 minute delay in the dryer wet fill circuit. The delay is activated when the wet grain filling switch is in the automatic position and the fill light is signaling for grain. The delay prevents nuisance starting and stopping of the fill system. If the wet grain filling switch is placed in the OFF and back to the Automatic position, the delay will recycle. When the dryer fills with grain up to the level of the rotary bin switch, the dryer has reached its capacity and automatically stops filling. The grain flow timer will shut down the dryer if there is an insufficient amount of wet grain to fill the hopper. When the fill system starts, the grain flow timer will be activated. When the timer counts down to zero, the dryer will shut down and the grain flow light will be illuminated. Grain flow is only a part of the circuit when the discharge is operating. ...

I N F I N I T Y S E R I E S O P E R A T I O N S M A N U A L Section Section 5: Dryer Maintenance Dryer Cleaning Recommendations Proper cleaning and maintenance of a grain dryer allows the dryer to perform more efficiently. When the screens of a dryer are clean, the air flow moves freely through the grain walls. As debris builds up inside the dryer, internal problems may arise. The recommended method for cleaning the dryer is air, preferably from a vacuum; however, using a non‐metallic brush or broom also works. Be aware that if using water to clean the dryer, the combination of water and residue can form a paste inside the dryer, making the internal surfaces sticky and more difficult to remove. ...
