Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drying device, particulary for drying wood and semi-products of wood like veneer or sawn wood as well as other products comprising the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a drying device is known from DE-A-2 441 855.
  • a groving tree as a woody perennial plant contains relatively huge amounts of moisture content warying from one kind to another which stays in the tree after being cut down.
  • wood contains capillaries in cells that contain free liquid and absorbed moleculas of water called moisture content which must be lowered to a certain level to satisfy needs of industrial use. For that reason, wood has to be properly treated, namely dried to a certain value of acceptable end moisture distribution content in a way to prevent occuring of all kinds of drying defects. The drying process is a mayor factor in economic terms.
  • Wood could be dried under natural circumstances in the open - air drying if wood climate relation conditions are good enough and consequently generating acceptable quality of dried sawn wood. It has to be considered that air drying of wood is a long term process which could extend into years. When finally wood is dried it needs proper storage conditions that include natural circulation of dry warm air and other terms of planning. It has to be considered that absorbed water in the wood can emerge and evapoprate with the help of sourrounding air flow only in case if the surface is not covered by rain fall water, snow or other substances.
  • the first type is a compartment type and tunnel kiln type. Both known types of drying devices can be characterized as stationary types.
  • the wood is placed in avaliable compartment which has the ability of generating different physical conditions like: temperature, humidity, air flow capacity and alike, with the intention of proceeding of the drying process.
  • the second type of drying devices the wood is transported with the help of horizontal transport unit through the drying device where it is sequently processed under different physical conditions, mainly for the purposes of gradualy executing the drying process.
  • Compartment type drying devices are cheaper, but with lower production rate in comparison with the tunnel kiln type drying devices, where investment costs are relatively high.
  • the wood is put into compartment by means of suitable transport carriages.
  • the ventilators placed on the ceiling or rarely on other locations an air flow is created which is in some cases blown transversely, yet by others the air flow is lead horizontaly and transversely and still in other versions the air is lead longitudinaly.
  • the transport units are constructed in a manner and with such dimensions that enable loading as great quantities of wood as possible in the kiln volume.
  • the wood is stacked by along ventilation in a way that air flow is possible at least in one horizontal plane.
  • a certain compromise has to be achieved with the consideration of dimensions of the air gap that is neccessary for air flow and the amount of wood in the kiln.
  • the hot air is then blown through the air gaps in order to fasten up the intensity of drying. When the hot air gets in contact with the wood containing high moisture level it absorbs it to its highest possible value, what causes enabling of absorption of moisture, that is still present deeper in the pile.
  • the compartment has warm-insulated walls.
  • the sawn wood is being stacked by longitudinaly ventilation in the kiln volume.
  • a ventilator which enables air flow passing through a heating register then continuing on trough stacked wood to the cooling register where the air flow is led in a way of repeating the same loop.
  • the air is warmed up then as passing trough the stacked wood it picks up moisture which is then released by passing trough the colling register to the warming register.
  • Such a combination is likely to create condensate if fresh sawn wood is processed but is quite suitable for wood with low moisture volume - the final touch - before being used up by industry.
  • a drying installation for wood which comprises a drying chamber with an air inlet and an air outlet. Both, the air inlet and the air outlet comprise a fan to cause an air circulation through the drying chamber. Furthermore, there are means to control the humidity of the incoming air. The two fans and the means for controlling the humidity are controlled by a control system. This drying installation has the drawback that, due to the two fans and the control system, it is very expensive.
  • a drying installation for wood with a drying chamber which is provided with a plurality of reversible electric fans for creating a circulation of air inside the chamber alternately in both directions.
  • a refrigerating circle is arranged within the drying chamber. This drying installation has the disadvantage that only few modifications of the air circulation are possible.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a drying device with a drying chamber wherein an air circulation can be created and the air circulation can be modified with simple and non-expensive means.
  • At least one ventilation unit With the microclimate went in closed position connected with the air shafts, ranging from the top of the kiln compartment ending in the kiln volume are generated conditions for creating an internal air circulation, but in open position the internal circulation gets in contact again with the help of the shafts with external athmosphere with parallell air flow of mostured air blown out of the kiln volume in the athmosphere and sucked in fresh dry air in the tunnel shaped air shaft due to the pressure difference. In the tunnel-shaped air shaft is recommended an instalation of heating elements.
  • the unit for stacking wood or other products intended for drying can be also equiped with accessories that enable vertical and horizontal stacking and longitudinal ventilation.
  • the accessories also can enable vertical positioning of dominant surfaces of the drying wood.
  • the distance holders that enable stacking of wood can be placed vertically in relationship to each another and are shorter than the vertical supports of the unit.
  • the said units can be mounted one on each other.
  • the botton carriage can be equiped by transport wheels.
  • an UV-emittor meant for emitting ultra-violet rays to the moisture contained in the air with the intention of eliminating the possibility of development culters like mould, fungi and other microorganismus.
  • the new drying device can be equiped with magnets assembled in the kiln compartment in bipolar arrangement what means that magnetization treatment influences on all the processes - chemical, phyisical and biological.
  • the drying device also can comprise a heating condensation device with a ventilator assembled in the opening of partition wall.
  • the heating condensation device can be designed in a way of iregular medium flow linking to increase condensation effect as well as heating emission.
