Why do we dry grain?
• The grain moisture content after harveting is in most cases so high that spoiling of grain starts if the grain is not dryed
• High moisture content makes possible for the microbes to start their work
• Moisture content is the key factor in microbe growth– Low moisture content of material prevents vital functions
of microbes– When air moisture content is higher than 62% molds start
to grow– When air moisture content is higher than 90% bacterias
start to grow

Drying
• When biomas is kept in a constant air moisture content after some moisture movement between the material and the air there is a balance between the material and air
•Hysteresis makes the moisture balance figures different depending on if the material is drying or wetting
• Temperature has an effect on balance, the curves are called moisture isotherms

Grain drying
Ambient air in
Oil and electricity in
In grain drying the moisture in the grain moves to the air, which is blown through the
grains
In boreal conditions crops must be dryed. Drying consumes enerfgy!

Drying
During drying different phases can be seen
• Drying starts with rapid moisture removal, the free water on the grain surface is removed
• When the free water has been removed water inside the grain must move to the surface, the moisture removal speed is decreased
• Temperature has an effect of water moving speed, high temperatures give higher moving speeds

Drying
In grain drying
• 120 g of burning oil is needed per evaporated water kg
• This corresponds to 5,1 MJ/kg H2O
• Besides this energy (electricity) is needed to run the fan,
elevator and other dryer equipments

Example
• A farm has 210 ha of grain with average yield of 3,5 t. What is the average oil consumption in grain drying?
