[QUOTE="Hutcho, post: 4551314, member: 17638"] Thanks for advice guys. I have been drying grain on air floors for some years now. Initially using a gas burner (expensive) to lower rh, ambient air only (difficult when near coast), using a 185kw straw burner (much less than 185 kw continuous with 2 bales a day) and lately with 100 kw (continuous) chp plant. To dry grain from 20 percent to 14 percent could take well over a month using ambient, 3 weeks say with the straw burner but can get done it easily under a week with chp plant, it does run 24/7 though. I was considering a 75 kw gshp and picking my drying time to optimise rh hopefully extending a 8 hour day to 14 hour. Probably 200 tonne batch with 4 batches. [/QUOTE]
