Energy efficiency performance enhancement of industrial conventional wood drying kiln by adding forced ventilation and waste heat recovery system: a comparative study

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2019
Conventional kilns dominate the wood drying industry. However, energy consumption during the process of ventilation remains a significant challenge. In this study, we designed a device to recover waste heat from exhausted wet air during kiln drying.

A Numerical Assessment of the Air Flow Behaviour in a Conventional Compact Dry Kiln

open access: yesJournal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2015
Convective drying is the most common drying strategy used in timber manufacturing industries in the developing world. In convective drying, the reduction rate of the moisture content is directly affected by the flow topology in the inlet and exit plenums

Wood colour related to kiln drying

open access: yes, 2000
Raised temperature in artificial drying has led to some changes of wood products such as colour and strength etc. For special treatment of wood-products with clearly modified properties, among them colour, is often high temperature and steam used industrially.

Measurement of colour development in Pinus radiata sapwood boards during drying at various schedules

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
Colour changes, such as kiln brown stain, that develop in Pinus radiata boards during kiln drying can reduce the value of the final wood products and result in significant losses due to downgrade or waste of dried wood by removing the darkened surfaces ...
