USE OF A MODIFIED DRYING MEDIUM TO PREVENT DISCOLOURATION OF RADIATA PINE SAPWOOD DURING KILN DRYING

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2006
Wood darkening and kiln brown stain (KBS) in kiln drying has caused significant economic loss to the wood processing industry which. Although extensive studies have been performed, feasible drying techniques have not yet been developed to economically ...

Accelerating the kiln drying of oak

open access: yes, 1980
Abstract : Reducing kiln-drying time for oak lumber can reduce energy requirements as well as reduce lumber inventories. In this work, 1-inch northern red oak and white oak were kiln-dried from green by a combination of individual accelerating techniques--presurfacing, presteaming, accelerated and smooth schedule, and high-temperature drying below 18 ...

Solar drying of uruguayan red gum

open access: yesInnotec, 2011
he use of solar energy as an alternative to non-renewable energy sources has been widely researched in the last decades. Compared to air drying, solar drying kilns can better control the drying process, resulting in a higher quality of the dry wood and ...

INFLUENCE OF VARIOUS OPTIONS TO BAFFLES SETUP ON AIR VELOCITY AND ITS UNIFORMITY IN A DRYING KILN [PDF]

open access: yesPro Ligno, 2015
In this study, an experimental-based comparative analysis among different options to the baffles settup in a drying kiln was carried. The experiments consisted in measuring the air velocity in different points located at the outlet face of stacks.

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

Evaluation of kiln-drying schedules for wild cherry wood (Cerasus avium)

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
Wild cherry wood (Cerasus avium) lumber with a nominal thickness of 5 cm from Duzce region in Turkey was dried through conventional kiln drying using two different programs which are unprotective drying schedules, and protective drying schedules. The aim

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.
