The temperature, moisture and germination variations in a commercial barley store were monitored over two seasons. Initial mean temperatures of 49 and 46°C were observed. These were higher than the safe temperatures for germination predicted by the computer simulation, but still produced maltable barley. This suggested that the model was too conservative. During cooling the air was heated and the bed
对商业大麦商店的温度、湿度和发芽变化进行了两个季节的监测。观察到的初始平均温度为 49 和 46°C。这些温度高于计算机模拟预测的安全发芽温度,但仍生产可麦芽大麦。这表明该模型过于保守。在冷却过程中,空气被加热,床层平均干燥 1.5%。这种“干燥”效应帮助大麦承受更高的温度。测试了差动风扇控制和非高峰运行,结果显示较高的 6°C 差动控制可减少再润湿。然而,以 2°C 的差异实现了更低且更均匀的温度。向下流动系统对于避免冷凝至关重要,并且不会造成任何其他严重问题。一些麦芽威士忌 由于担心二次休眠和重新加热到陡峭的温度,对冷却到 15°C 以下的保留应该通过这项工作得到缓解。鉴于仍需要研究的风扇控制选项的范围,建议对存储中的冷却、干燥和发芽进行计算机模拟,作为比商业测试成本更低的选择。
