How do I use the StorMax system to manage and control my aeration fans?
Taking temperature profiles of the grain is the best way to manage fans. By logging temperatures into the StorMax monitor on a regular basis, you will know when and how long to run aeration fans to cool the grain. The rule of thumb is to run cooling cycles every time the outside temperature is 5-10 Celcius below the average grain temperature. Do this until the grain reaches 5-10 Celcius in the Fall. Assuming safe moistures and sound quality, grain can then be stored through to the following summer without having to run your aeration fans, unless one or more sensors indicate a heating trend. At this time, additional cooling cycle through aeration will be required to stabilize temperatures.
