  • Page 38 7. APPENDIX AERATION FAN – INLINE CENTRIFUGAL FAN 7.3. Grain Drying and Aeration Tips • WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AERATION, NATURAL AIR DRYING? Aeration is used to control and provide uniform temperature for a grain mass. Natural air drying is generally used for farm bins and is a method of drying grain with or without supplemental heat and is recommended at 1 cfm (13.4 L/s) per bushel of grain.
  • Page 39 AERATION FAN – INLINE CENTRIFUGAL FAN 7. APPENDIX • IF I ADD SUPPLEMENTAL HEAT, CAN I DRY IN HIGH HUMIDITY CONDITIONS? Adding supplemental heat (when available) to the natural air drying process will reduce relative humidity and increase the rate of moisture movement.
  • Page 40 7. APPENDIX AERATION FAN – INLINE CENTRIFUGAL FAN 2. You can wait until the outside air temperature falls to 23 to 14°F (-5 to -10°C) and then run the fan for 24– 48 hours to cool the entire grain mass to a storage state (see charts that follow). Once spring conditions return, you can resume the natural air drying process.
