ABSTRACT:
In the field of grain ventilation, grain bins are constructed to allow air circulation from a plenum chamber through the grain floor and the grain to an exhaust. The invention relates to a panel for improving grain bin design so as to more effectively practice grain ventilation.
An aspirating panel is formed to include a cylindrically shaped rib along both its longer sides. In constructing a grain bin floor, sidewall, or roof, panels are fastened together such that a slit remains between the ribs of adjacent panels. The slit allows air freely to pass through. In the case of a sidewall or roof, the panel design allows the wind to aspirate air from inside the grain bin by creating low pressure regions near the slits which enhance air exhaustion.
