Just done a few calcs while moleploughing.
I can have almost exactly double the number of cooling points and not lose any extra space.
Assuming 3 m high each
Pedestals 1m x 450mm? Then 2m x 110mm?
Each pedestal is 0.235067 cubic m
Each 110mm one is 0.11404 cubic m
So two use 0.22808 cubic m
Or 2.06 small bore compared to each pedestal.
I will keep an eye on cooling.
I'm fairly confident though as I've kept 200 tonne cool with screw in spears before now.
What's the recommended spacing for pedestals?
correct spacing for a pedestal is dependant upon storage depth - ie radius ventilated will be = to the depth of crop
so the deeper you go the further apart you can put them
