The Potential of the Forced-Air Drying of Northern Hardwoods
The drying of red oak at low temperatures in a forced-air dry-kiln was investigated. A partial charge (10 percent of chamber capacity) of 4/4 lumber and an 8700 bd. ft. […]

The Shrinkage of Cell Walls and Cell Cavities in Wood Microsections
Shrinkage measurements of cell walls and cell cavities were made on water-leached microsections of California redwood heartwood. Substantial cell-cavity reduction occurred in the absence of casehardening stresses. Reduction in cell-cavity […]

The Transverse Shrinkage of Wood
Small green specimens of beech were subjected to drying temperatures of from 25 to 100?C with EMC controlled to provide a slow drying rate and a fast drying rate. Tangential […]

The use of saw-dry-rip to produce southern red oak, sweetgum, and blackgum squares
The use of two new technologies for the manufacture of turning squares resulted in less warp in a much shorter time than current practice provides. The technologies were Saw-Dry-Rip (SDR) […]

The Value of Presteaming for Drying Some Collapse-Susceptible Eucalypts
The effect of presteaming at 212?F under saturated conditions on drying rate of 1-inch thick stock lumber was examined. The samples used were 6 feet long and 4- to 9-inches […]

Theoretical Considerations in the Drying of Wood At Pressures Above Atmospheric
The drying of yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) specimens at pressures beyond atmospheric is described and the results compared with drying under atmospheric conditions. Results indicate that drying at pressures […]

Theory and Application of Dielectric Heating
When a dielectric is placed in a rapidly alternating field, the molecules are first stressed in one direction and then in the other at the frequency of the generator. This […]

Time series techniques for dynamic, real-time control of wood-drying processes
Continuous improvement in any process necessitates reduction in the variability across the target value of the process. Traditionally, two different technical schemes have focused on realizing this goal: Statistical Process […]

Time to Dry 2-, 3-, and 4-Inch S4S Southern Pine At 240 F. as Related to Board Width
Southern pine dried at a dry-bulb temperature of 240?F and a wet-bulb temperature of 160?F with air cross-circulated at 1,000 f.p.m, attained 10 percent moisture content when kilned 11 or […]

Time, Costs, and Energy Consumption for Drying Red Oak Lumber as Affected By Thickness and Thickness Variation
The time required to kiln-dry lumber is influenced by its thickness. Thicker material dries more slowly, and an increase in drying time increases energy consumption and drying costs. The purpose […]

Today’s Prefabricated Dry-Kiln
Wedge-seal panel joint construction in a prefabricated dry-kiln eliminates all bolts, rivets, or panel sheet joints exposed to inside kiln conditions. When the joint is assembled and tightened, it seals […]
