Development and test of advanced experimental system for stored-grain monitoring and model validation

This paper presents the problem of designing and testing advanced monitoring and modeling experimental system for stored grain. Firstly, system configuration is described and functions are discussed in detail. Then, accuracies of different sensors used in this system and pressure distribution uniformity are tested. In particular, a monitoring-ventilation experimental platform for grain model validation is developed, on which an experiment is carried out. Results show that, this experimental system can be effectively used for stored grain monitoring and grain model validation.
