SPECIFICS OF AIR CONDITIONING IN THE GERMINATION PROCESS OF MALT

Serhyi BUT

Abstract

Information is provided on the specifics of stabilizing the temperature of germinated malt in the spring-summer and winter seasons. The situation is complicated by the rated values of the grain mass temperatures ranging between 12 and 18 ºC, which are rather far from the ambient temperatures
in the specified seasons with maintained relative humidity of air used for aeration. The possibility and advisability  of  using  exhaust  air  masses  for  recuperation  are  estimated;  calculation  formulas  are provided  concerning  the  organization  of  recuperation  modes  in  the  aeration  processes.  Information regarding  the  thermodynamic  air  preparation  in  the  winter  by  using  open  steam  and  the  results  of calculations in support of advisability of energy conservation through recuperation are provided. The thermodynamic  peculiarities  of  preparing  the  air  for aeration  with  the  need  to  achieve  the  rated temperature and the relative humidity φ=100 % are demonstrated.
