Conventional Timber Dryer - HOT AIR HEATED TIMBER DRYER
The hot air is generated by a waste-wood fired hot air generator. For more information about the Hot Air Generator, please go to the Heat Source Page. The use of hot air from a hot air generator is most economical for running 1 or 2 dryers, instead of investing in a boiler or heater plant which requires many ancillary equipment which will be too heavy an investment for small drying plant. The temperature in the kiln can reach up to 80oC. For the hot air generator to be lasting, the air-to-air heat exchanger tubes have to be made of high temperature stainless steel. Otherwise, the hot air generator will not last long due to creep failure of the tubes.
