Wood drying kilns provides a means of overcoming the limitations imposed by erratic weather conditions. In kiln drying as in air drying, unsaturated air is used as the drying medium. Almost all commercial timbers of the world are dried in [...]
The temperatures employed in wood drying kilns typically kill all the fungi and insects in the wood if a maximum dry-bulb temperature of above 60 °C is used for the drying schedule. This is not guaranteed in air drying. If air drying [...]
A wood drying kiln and airflow controlling process is described in which the kiln includes an structure with a charge receiving chamber, and a door accessible opening to allow passage of a charge of lumber for drying. Circulating fans in the [...]
The main elements of kiln drying wood drying equipments are described below: a) Construction materials: The wood drying kiln chambers are generally built of brick masonry, or hollow cement-concrete slabs. Sheet metal or prefabricated aluminium in a double-walled construction with sandwiched thermal insulation, [...]
The present invention relates, in general, to kilns for drying and, in particular, to a new and useful control system for temperature and humidity within a wood drying kiln hardwoods. It is known that by controlling the temperature and humidity within the [...]
In hardwood kilns, the conventional wisdom requires that multiple samples which are removed from the wood drying kiln for periodic moisture measurements, be repositioned within the lumber charge in a horizontal orientation, that is parallel to the air stream through [...]
Our company will participate in the 16th Furniture mannufactuing & Supply China from Sep. 7th to Sep. 10th. The exhibiton will be hold at the Shanghai New Internation Expo Center. During that time,anyone who is interested in wood drying industry or [...]
A monitoring system for a wood drying kiln having a housing with an interior wall surface, an area within the housing for placement of a charge of wood for drying of the charge of wood, and means for heating and humidifying [...]
Wood drying kilns are a faster alternative and more consistently controllable than air drying. Stacks of lumber may be effectively dried in just over two days, depending of course on the species of wood, initial moisture content, and other considerations [...]
The process of wood drying kiln consists basically of introducing heat. This may be directly, using natural gas and/or electricity or indirectly, through steam-heated heat exchangers, although solar energy is also possible. In the process, deliberate control of temperature, relative humidity [...]
