The design handbook MWPS-29 Dry Grain Aeration Systems Design Handbook, has been recently revised by the Midwest Plan Service.
This design handbook is intended for a technically oriented audience interested in learning about the art and science of aeration system design. It provides guidelines for selecting, sizing, locating and evaluating grain aeration systems, and it presents design examples of commonly used systems. It does not include design information for moving air through wet grain to hold it safely until it is dried, or for cooling hot grain coming from a dryer. Chapters include:
The handbook will be of most interest to grain equipment dealers and designers. However, it could also be useful for grain producers and Extension staff who want to better understand the art and science of aeration system design.
The book sells for $20.00 and is available from Nancy Aitcheson, Plan Service Secretary, Agricultural Engineering Department, Farrall Hall, MSU, East Lansing, 48824, 517-353-3297. A no-cost office copy is also available from Nancy.
