Theoretical and economic studies of a floor duct in the form of cylindrical pipes

Abstract

Abstract The article presents the results of studies of a floor duct in the form of cylindrical pipes (utility model patent No. 183361) at farms in Ryazan region, from September 27, 2018 to February 26, 2019. The studies included laying potatoes in three sections of the potato storage having different duct designs (section “A” is an air duct in the form of cylindrical pipes, section “B” is in the form of a front trihedral prism, section “C” is a serial air duct in the form of a semicircle). We also studied the temperature range of the potato bulk ventilated by cooling air in order to clarify the optimal microclimate parameters (temperature, humidity, flow rate) as applied to the conditions of the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation.
