Claim 0:
1. A system for drying grain housed in a storage bin by removing moist air from the storage bin, the storage bin defining an interior space therein, the system comprising:
a plurality of peripherally-disposed air injectors spaced around the storage bin to inject external air towards a center of the interior space and displace the moist air; and
an air extractor positioned centrally within the storage bin to extract the moist air, with a distance between each of the air injectors and the air extractor;
each of the air injectors configured to inject the external air towards the air extractor to about half of the distance between the air injector and the air extractor;
the air extractor configured to pull the moist air away from each of the air injectors from about half of the distance between the air extractor and the air injector;
wherein the air extractor is provided with an outlet line to outside the storage bin and an air extraction pump configured to pull the moist air through the air extractor and the outlet line; and
wherein the plurality of air injectors is provided with an intake line and an air injection pump configured to force the external air through the intake line and the plurality of air injectors into the interior space.
