  • METHOD FOR FILTERING AN AIR FLOW IN A GRAIN DRYER
    Publication number: 20150260455
    Abstract: The method for filtering an air flow in a grain dryer to permit recycling of the air includes entering an external air flow into the grain dryer; pouring a grain flow by gravity into the grain dryer; passing the external air flow through the grain flow in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of the grain flow; filtering the air flow after passing through the grain flow so as to retain particles present in the air flow; heating the filtered flow and directing the filtered flow upstream of the grain flow, such that the filtered flow passes again through the grain flow; and blowing the particles proceeding from the filtering. The invention also relates to a device for implementing this method.
