A proven and efficient method
Conventional drying is a popular solution for drying wood. The principle of conventional drying is that wood releases moisture when air is blown over it. By heating this air, it absorbs more moisture. The air is heated and forced to circulate through the stacked wood. As the air gradually increases in temperature and relative humidity, it gradually increases in temperature. Once the desired temperature and humidity have been reached, the control system will activate the ideal combination of heating, humidity control, ventilation, and air valves. This removes excess moisture and brings in fresh air.
