Avoid potential mistakes and delays by having propane and electrical suppliers involved as early as possible. According to Guild, you should expect holdups in booking a gas inspection. For instance, there are only three gas inspectors in Manitoba who get very busy during the grain drying season, so it can take two to four weeks to get an inspector on site. This timing varies across Canada. “Another trend we are seeing is the dryers are getting bigger and farmyards are more congested Propanetanks may havetobe placed fartherawayfrom the dryer. This affects propane gas line sizing. To get à larger-diameter gas line, you have to go with a poly-coated black pipe. it must be pressure welded and properly coated before being buried. This takes time, and | have seen in the past few years that the pipe can be difficult to get,” said Guild. Installing the grain dryer Considering you have completed all the preparation steps, including consulting with the necessary experts and obtaining the required permits, the dryer installa- tion should go smoothly. To start installing the dryer, build a concrete pad with built-in sleeves to allow for easy cleanup and reduce trip hazards. A qualified Co-op Propane Team member or a gas fit- ter will then apply for a gas-burning appliance permit. Once it's obtained, the dryer is assembled and moved into place. Depending on the province, you might also need to install hydrostatic relief valves on your liquid propane dryer to be vented in a safe location unless they were completed during manufacturing. After installing the underground gas line, à Co-op Propane team member or à gas fitter will schedule a turn-on inspection with the authority having jurisdiction in your province. Keep in mind that the g2s inspection cannot be booked until the electrical inspection is completed. Scheduling maintenance For the safe and efficient operation of grain dryers, it is crucial to perform pre-season checks and conduct inspections to reduce fire hazards and identify poten- til issues. Prior to harvest, thoroughly clean the dryer and lubricate all necessary components, including fan bearings, augers and other equipment. Create a schedule for cleaning out the debris and power washing the screens. You can prevent dust and debris build-up by covering the burner when it's not operating and cleaning burners when checking the burner control system, igniter and plate sensors.
