Orono Weekly Times, Wednesdayv, August 30th, 1978-7 s in Attendance Solar roofs for grain drying Ontario cash crop f armers may cut energy costs using solar roofs on their grain bins. A number of farmers across the province, including John Currelly of R.R. 3, Port Hope, have been carrying out exper- iments using solar roofs to dry grain corn. The initial resuits look very promising, and agricultural engineers with the Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food, feel that the solar technique can be bene- ficial in a time of rising energy costs. The solar tech- nique takes advantage of the natural drying qualities of air, whereas, conventional high teînperature drying req- uires expensive fuels. To put a solar covering on a standard, steel bin, paint the south roof black and con- struct a fibreglass roof six inches above it, This creates a duct that allows air to be naturally beated as it rises to mhe peak of the roof. Before the air reaches the grain, moisture is removed by elec tric heating couls near the top of the bin, then, a fan draws the dehumidified air through the train to the perforated metal drying floor. Placed 8 inches above the concrete floor, this struc- ture insures grain is dried at the bottom of the bin. A fan at the outer wall creates a partial vacuum in mhis 8,inch space to dry air out of the bîn. Experimental resultsso far show that as nluch ab 26 percent moisture can be remnoved by this solar meth- od. It is risky, however, to dry grain with higher moisture content, unless high temper- ature dryers are hooked into the system.. At the moment, it is difficult to determine dollar savings with tme solar sys- temn, because each farmer's operation is unique. If interested, please contact mhe Bowmanville office and make an appointment wimh our Agricultural Engineer to iscuss this method of drying grain.
