Abstract :
There are many different kinds of flue-curing barn controllers in market. However, most of them are simply LED display and buzzer alarm, which cannot show directly and are hard to manipulate. In addition, the two step speed regulation circulating ventilator is not excellent enough for the best quality of tobacco leaf curing. According to those shortcomings, we design a new bulk curing barn controller with LCD-segment screen display, which the user can set it by menu and then control the circulating ventilator by inverter. By controlling temperature and humidity intellectively, this equipment can improve the quality of tobacco.
