Microwave Preconditioning to Accelerate Solar Drying of Timber
Wood drying is essential for preparation of this natural resource for practical applications. Solar drying can reduce drying costs and energy consumption. There are many potential models to describe the drying process. However, most models confirm that the tortuosity of the moisture transport path is an important control parameter during the diffusion-controlled drying process. Microwave heatin...
متن کاملDevelopment of Elastic Strain and Mechano-sorptive Strain during Conditioning of Eucalyptus Camaldulensis Lumber in Batch Kiln
Final conditioning of 25mm thick dried E. camaldulensis lumber was carried out in small capacity batch drying kiln in laboratory, and the elastic (EL) strain and mechano-sorptive (MS) strain was analyzed by slicing method. Mean moisture content(MC) of boards increases 2.5-3.0%, while surface MC increases from 9.8% to 14.2% and center MC always keeps at 12.3% or so. Difference of each slice oven...
متن کاملCOMPARISON 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 کاملMicrowave Method for In-kiln Moisture Content Measurement
A technique based on microwave sensing technologies has been developed which provides a means of estimating the average moisture content across a stack of timber during kiln drying. The microwave sensor, which comprises of a linear array of slots excited from both ends, was developed and trialed under a range of standard commercial kiln drying schedules using 100mm x 50mm Pinus radiata sample b...
متن کاملIndustrial Evaluation of Re-dry Strategy for Softwood Lumber
This paper presents an experimental evaluation of the first commercial scale dry-sort-redry (DSRD) strategy for drying of 2x4 Pacific coast hemlock (PCH) lumber. The DSRD strategy is a methodology designed to reduce final moisture content variability in kiln dried lumber by complementing conventional drying with radio frequency vacuum (RFV) drying technology. The strategy’s objective is to avoi...
