Sensible heating approach to controlling the equilibrium moisture content of wood
One approach to controlling the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of wood is the sensible heating of air which results in a reduction of the air?s relative humidity (RH). This can […]

Sensor type and placement for measurement of internal lumber temperature in dry kilns
Studies have shown that internal temperature of lumber can be part of a lumber-drying control system. Tests were done to determine whether 24-gauge, exposed-junction thermocouples or 40-gauge, stainless-steel sheathed thermocouples […]
