8.14.2 Measuring Actual Seed Temperatures
Note
Putting a thermometer directly in the dryer only gives the temperature of the air between the kernels
and not the correct temperature of the actual kernels.
When operating in batch mode:
• To determine correct kernel temperature, take a sample from a duct at the lower part of the heating
section.
• Put into an insulated (covered) container, with a thermometer directly in the grain.
• After 10 minutes record the temperature reading.
