Timber can be dried to any desired low moisture content by conventional or solar kiln drying, but in air drying, moisture contents of less than 18% are difficult to attain for most locations. The drying times are considerably less in conventional kiln drying than in solar kiln drying, followed by air drying.
Most softwood kilns operate below 115 °C (240 °F) temperature. Hardwood kiln drying schedules typically keep the dry bulb temperature below 80 °C (180 °F). Difficult-to-dry species might not exceed 60 °C (140 °F). Dehumidification kilns are similar to other kilns in basic construction and drying times are usually comparable. Heat comes ...
The Thermo wood process consists of drying, heat treatment and finally cooling/conditioning, and takes up to 72 hours. [4] The Plato process consists of hydrothermolysis, dry curing and conditioning, and can take up to 7 days. The required time depends on wood species, width and initial moisture content. [5]
Kiln-drying usually results in an average moisture content of 18-20% ("average" means the average moisture content of the outside and the center of the log). In North America, logs reach equilibrium moisture content at about 6% and 12%; [8] since most kiln-dried logs are dried down to about 18% to 20% moisture content, kiln-dried logs can be ...
To reduce the drying time to a number of days from the normal one to three years, an external heating source such as a kiln or oven can be used. The process of kiln or oven drying firewood was invented by Anthony Cutara, for which a successful US patent was filed in 1983. [22]
Bill Belichick has spent a lot of time talking into a microphone about football this season, but he has his sights set higher for next year. According to The Athletic, Belichick wants to return to ...
Further drying of the wood results in strengthening of the wood fibres, [1] and is usually accompanied by shrinkage. Wood is normally dried to a point where it is in equilibrium with the atmospheric moisture content or relative humidity, and since this varies so does the equilibrium moisture content. Laboratory testing has found the average FSP ...
Cole Hauser is looking back on his Yellowstone experience fondly — while also looking ahead to what may come next in the Dutton universe. Hauser, 49, who plays Rip Wheeler on the hit Paramount ...
