Specifications_for_tobacco_barn_bid10-27-2022.pdf

The document is a detailed specification sheet for a tobacco barn, prepared for Auburn University in Alabama, outlining precise technical requirements for a fully metal-constructed agricultural facility designed for tobacco curing and drying. The specifications cover comprehensive dimensions for the entire structure, including outside dimensions of 44' 10-1/2" length, 9' 11-3/16" width, and 10' 2-3/8" height, as well as specific heated chamber and curing/drying container measurements. The barn is designed to accommodate 10 curing/drying containers, each with 60 securing pins, and features specialized access doors in the furnace room ceiling and rear curing chamber wall.

The furnace system is extensively specified with technical parameters including a 10 HP, 220v, 1-phase squirrel cage fan, stainless steel heat exchanger, and a two-stage burner compatible with LPG or natural gas. The system is equipped with advanced programmable, computer-controlled furnace controls featuring redundant safety mechanisms, digital displays for dry and wet bulb temperatures, relative humidity, temperature advance rates, and a manually controlled backup dry bulb thermostat. The design allows for variable fresh air intake and up-draft airflow, with a maximum BTU capacity of 600,000 per hour, enabling precise environmental control for optimal tobacco curing and drying processes.
