COMPARISON OF TWO KILN-DRYING SCHEDULES FOR TURKISH HAZEL (Corylus colurna) LUMBER OF 5-CM THICKNESS
Turkish hazel (Corylus colurna) lumber with a nominal thickness of 5 cm from the Kastamonu region, Turkey, was dried through conventional kiln drying using two different programs, a nonprotective drying schedule and a protective drying schedule. The goal of the study was to obtain a kiln schedule that would maintain wood quality and also save drying time until a final moisture content of 8 ± 2%...
متن کاملInvestigating the Potential of Plantation Pochote as a Lumber Source in Sámara, Costa Rica
In Sámara, Costa Rica, a pochote plantation has 24 year old trees available for harvest. The owners of the plantation, the Sauter family, face the challenge of finding a use for this resource. The quality of plantation-grown pochote is not as well-known as its naturally-grown counterpart, due to its newness and minimal prevalence in the local market. This study's goals were to investigate the p...
متن کاملProgrammable Control for Lumber Drying in Chambers
A programmable control system for the convective drying of lumber in chambers is developed, based on specially designed drying algorithm, which allows computing the set-point values for the temperature and the relative humidity of the heating and drying air as a function of the wood type, wood thickness and the current average value for the wood moisture content and wood temperature. The specia...
متن کاملUse of a Modified Drying Medium to Prevent Discolouration of Radiata Pine Sapwood during Kiln Drying
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 produce bright, pale colour wood from commercial drying. The current work research has been conducted to dry radiata pine sapwood in hot air and ...
متن کاملCancer in banana plantation workers in Costa Rica.
BACKGROUND Costa Rica has population and disease registries with potential value for epidemiological research. Pesticides have been intensively used on banana plantations, for example dibromochloropropane (DBCP). This study was planned to examine the quality of the cancer and civil registries and the feasibility of record linkages, and to explore cancer patterns among a highly exposed group. ...
