ABSTRACT:
The grain dryer of the present invention includes a housing having two spaced apart vertical partitions therein which divide the housing into a central compartment, a front compartment and a rear compartment. Air intake openings are provided in the two vertical partitions so as to provide communication from the central compartment to the two front and rear compartments through the two partitions. The front and rear walls of the housing are also provided with exhaust openings which permit air to exit from the front and rear compartments outwardly through the front and rear walls respectively. A first group of ventilator members are located within the front and rear compartments and are connected to the inlet openings within the partitions for guiding air into the front and rear compartments from the central compartments. A second group of ventilator members are connected to the exhaust openings in the front and rear walls of the housing and are adapted to channel the air from the front and rear compartments outwardly through the front and rear walls of the housing. At least one heating fan is in communication with the central compartment for forcing hot air into the central compartment adjacent the upper portion of the central compartment. A cooling fan is also in communication with the central compartment for forcing cool air into the lower end of the central compartment. A feeding auger is positioned above the front and rear compartments that includes a conveyor housing mounted thereover.
