INVESTIGATION OF FERMENTATION CHAMBER THERMAL CONDITION PARAMETERS

Keywords: compost, substrate, organic raw material, fermentation chamber, heat balance of organic matter.

Abstract

A design of a fermentation chamber for compost production is presented. A heat mode of the chamber operation on a substrate, which is the mixture of a straw, cattle manure, bird`s manure and a wood sawdust, is investigated. Substrate`s moisture content was 62%. Experiments were held open air. Surrounding temperature was 10 °С to -10 °С. To reduce heat loses, the fermentation chamber was thermally insulated. An air for the substrate aeration have been heated from +20 to +60 °С. A balance heat is introduced. The mathematical model is developed from the heat balance equation. By the multifactor experiment a dependence between the balance heat and the substrate aeration air temperature, the thermal insulation thickness and the surrounding temperature was found. The conditions at which , from the energy point, an autonomous fermentation process takes place are: aeration air temperature – 18…24 °С; surrounding air temperature – 1…5 °С; insulation thickness – 100 mm. Experimental results have high correspondence with the analytical data. The determination coefficient is 0.99. Presented results could be used for further researches of the heat operation mode of the fermentation chamber (volume 250 L) for compost production from the organic raw material. The received results make possible to determine optimal insulation thickness, which corresponds with surrounding temperature conditions, that help reducing heat losses and raising fermentation installation effectivity in general. Further researches are planned in the direction of determination of the influence of the chamber rotation velocity and aeration air volume on the compost quality. Bibl. 21, tabl. 2, fig. 5.
