Master the design and operation of the Forest Service water spray dry kiln. This practical guide explains how a spray kiln uses water sprays, air flow, and controlled humidity to dry lumber efficiently. It covers typical kiln layouts, spray chamber construction, and how to balance heat, moisture, and air in real-world plants.
The book presents clear, factory‑level detail on selecting kiln sites, estimating capacity, and choosing between steam coils and spray methods. It explains how to size water and steam systems, manage condensate and traps, and regulate temperature and humidity for best wood quality. You’ll also find guidance on equipment placement, piping, and the roles of careful measurement and control in reliable operation.
- How spray chambers, baffles, and air movement work to circulate and dehydrate lumber
- Methods for sizing and matching steam supply, condensers, and traps to your kilns
- How to estimate kiln capacity and drying times for different stock and schedules
- Practical notes on control instruments, temperature regulation, and reliability
Ideal for engineers, plant managers, and shop supervisors involved in lumber drying and kiln installations.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the design and installation of the Forest Service Water Spray Dry Kiln. Developed by the Forest Products Laboratory, this revolutionary kiln has been widely adopted for its ability to dry both refractory hardwoods of large dimensions and green lumber of all kinds. The text includes detailed drawings and cross-sectional diagrams to illustrate principles and typical forms of construction. The author provides factors and formulas to assist in estimating the capacity and steam consumption required for an efficient installation. Also included are insights into the critical early stages of drying and principles of kiln drying, such as temperature, humidity, and circulation, and how each element impacts the quality of the final product. By adhering to the principles set forth in this book, engineers and kiln operators can design and construct installations that produce high-quality dried lumber economically.
