The influence of material properties on the amount of twist of spruce wood during kiln drying

open access: yes, 2010
The development of twist in Norway spruce boards (Picea abies Karst.) during normal temperature kiln drying was researched. Tangentially oriented boards were sawn from diametrical radial planks, from which the basic wood properties, i.e. linear shrinkage

Environmental Features of Convective Lumber Drying

open access: yesЛесной журнал
Lumber drying is a mandatory technological operation that gives wood the properties necessary for the production of items, during which the wood is given shape and size stability during operation and/or increases biostability during transportation ...

A Mass-Transport Model for Drying Wood under Isothermal Conditions

open access: yes, 2005
Mass transport in wood during drying is often described in terms of different periods. Depending on the current moisture content (MC) and the structure of the wood, the driving forces behind the mass transport are essentially different.

Drying strategies capable of reducing the stress level of a stack of boards as defined by a comprehensive dual scale model

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
During drying, stresses and deformations develop in a wood board due to shrinkage fields which result from moisture content and temperature field variations.

Free drying shrinkage of wood: A review

open access: yesBioResources
The free drying shrinkage of wood is critical for dimensional stability and industrial applications. This study reviews the influencing factors (drying parameters, environmental conditions, and anatomical structures) and summarizes evaluation indexes and measurement methods. However, current research exhibits significant limitations.

Use of a modified drying medium to prevent discolouration of radiata pine sapwood during kiln drying

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
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 ...

Drying Rates of Wood Chips During Compression Drying [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Compression drying is basically a process of forcing the free water in wood to move under high hydrostatic pressure through a solid structure. Fundamental information regarding the time-dependent characteristic of compression drying is necessary to ...
