Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of granary air conditioners, in particular to a granary air conditioner with a closed box structure. Background Art

[0002] Nitrogen controlled atmosphere grain storage does not require as high airtightness as carbon dioxide controlled atmosphere storage. Nitrogen gas storage is readily available, directly utilizing air separation, resulting in zero raw material costs. Nitrogen storage equipment and nitrogen filling procedures are relatively simple to operate. In terms of safety precautions, nitrogen poses less severe a threat to the human body than carbon dioxide. Therefore, nitrogen controlled atmosphere grain storage is a safe, low-cost, green grain storage technology with high operability and significant social and economic benefits. With the international community's increasing focus on environmental, energy, and health issues, nitrogen grain storage will gradually gain popularity and application, with broad prospects for application.

[0003] Nitrogen-storage grain silos, using conventional cooling air conditioning units, require large, continuous nitrogen injections. During this process, significant amounts of nitrogen leak from the air conditioning units, resulting in nitrogen waste. Furthermore, phosphine is a widely used fumigant. Its high toxicity, low molecular weight, low boiling point, ease of dissipation, and lack of residual residue make it a top choice for pest control in grain storage facilities. However, phosphine is corrosive to copper and copper alloys, necessitating careful protection of copper-containing equipment before fumigation. New fumigants, such as sulfuryl fluoride, are emerging as promising alternatives to methyl bromide due to their high efficiency, safety, and ease of use. Sulfuryl fluoride not only rapidly eliminates adult insects but is also suitable for pest and fungal control in a variety of settings, including warehouses and cargo ships. Highly toxic gases like phosphine can also easily leak from air conditioning units, contaminating the environment. Utility Model Content
