Master the essentials of drying lumber at atmospheric pressure with practical guidance you can apply in real work.
This handbook explains the two core conditions in kiln drying—heat and relative humidity—and how to control them for consistent results. It covers the basic principles, the role of preliminary heating, humidity management, and the importance of large, well-designed air circulation. The text also introduces humidity diagrams that help operators determine vapor pressures, dew points, and how changes in temperature affect moisture in the wood.
- Learn the fundamental factors that influence successful dry-kiln operation
- Understand how to regulate humidity and temperature without sacrificing heat delivery
- Explore methods to maintain uniform drying and prevent checks, honeycombing, and warp
- See how humidity diagrams and practical experiments guide commercial practice
Ideal for readers of technical manuals in wood processing, kiln operation, and forest Service research, this edition offers a practical framework for applying drying principles in real-world settings.
