Wheat Silo
Hey there.
I'm an intern mechanical engineer.My firm produces chiller, cooling tower etc.
Last day my boss asked me for silo cooling system.He said he ll give a proposition to a client.
What should I consider while calculations? What component should I use for that?
Thank you for being helpful.

Re: Wheat Silo
Firstly, what sort of silo is it?
One for food products, grain etc or an underground one for ballistic missiles?Brian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK

Re: Wheat Silo
I would start with the size of the Silo, the product holding capacity. Then comes the interesting part what dryness fraction for wheat holding, ambient temperatures storage duration and ventilation rates.
Sorry but asking on a forum like this when designing a system with some complexity is bound to fail.

Your company is producing chillers it should not be a problem for you to construct cooling system for silo or maybe you can get some other idea too ....
Hope this is of some help to you.
