The regulation of the coolant speed during convective drying in a stationary grain layer allows the maximum use of the amount of heat energy for drying the material. The paper presents the results of a study of the regulation of the coolant speed on an experimental drying plant for use in the automatic control system of a chamber grain dryer. The article also discusses the issues of energy saving efficiency in drying chambers. The possibility of automatic control of the main parameters control system using a microcontroller is analyzed.
