GRAIN DRYERS
EFFICIENT GRAIN DRYER Requirements: • All installed grain dryers must be permanent and use natural gas or propane as the heating source. • Only corn dryers are eligible. • For retrofit applications, new grain dryer must improve dryer efficiency by 250 BTU/lb H 2 0. • For new construction, only mixed flow grain dryers are eligible. Provide acres of corn planted per example below. • Manufacturer Specification Sheet of proposed grain dryer must be included with Grain Dryer Application. • Dryer must include at least one of these energy-efficient features:
• Staged temperature (higher temperature for wettest grain). • Grain turners or Inverters (rotate dry grain away from plenum). • Differential grain speed (drying column designed to move grain next to plenum faster). • Varied width of drying column (narrower at top where wet grain is located).
• Some type of grain heat recovery features. • Advanced grain dryer operation controls. • Pre-qualification of proposed equipment is recommended. For assistance calculating the dryer efficiency, contact your Energy Advisor. Application Measure Description Code Rebate Unit
