Re: Airflow meter

Well lets wrap this up then. The lack of further engagement in this thread probably signals the 'da management' do not want to wash their dirty linen in public. Air roasters are now ubiquitous. As far as I can see they all ignore the big issues of stable air flow and proper computation of the therma...

Re: Airflow meter

A quick look on Google Scholar shows someone has bean modelled before! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a ... 7412002063 but behind a paywall. Chris, you can walk in to Dunedin Uni library and ask for free online access!

Re: Airflow meter

PPS I'm on a roll today! If what I suggest is correct, we have the basis for a mathematical model of the system. Modelling the energy transfer to the bean would allow one to see the differing effects of air pressure and humidity on the roast process. Chris, you live in a university town; a message t...

Re: Airflow meter

Re-reading my comment it suddenly hit me that this statement is key -"There might not be much of it but it [ water vapour] certainly has more entropy than a comparable mass of dry air." The PID is totally unable to control the thermal transfer to the bean. All it can do is set up the air t...

Re: Airflow meter

Hi Chris, I saw you response and have been working towards a reply; forgive the delay. You bring a lot and I'll deal with your headings if I may. Anemometer The use of a cheaper anemometer was trialed, but the problem is that we do the calibration using moving beans which introduces variation in the...

Re: Airflow meter

Welcome back from your holidays, Chris. Shame about the rain but at least the cherries were good this year! I see you are well ahead of me. The commercial anemometer plus some 3D printed parts is a great idea. Thanks for the link. I will investigate getting one printed. I envisaged a cheaper mechani...

Re: Airflow meter

"Calibrated at 91 " type methods stilled aren't easily applied across different machines. My machine's 91 wind speed is different to others 91 - Air density at different elevations above sea level could also make for some differences ( no idea how quickly or differently air thins out) The...

Re: Airflow meter

Assumption: The air impeller drives a constant volume of air per minute for any constant impeller speed. As air density varies with weather, the mass of air per unit volume through our system varies. On high air pressure days more air mass passes through the system than on low pressure days over a g...
