Natural drying of fruit trees wood

100%
The aim of this study was to evaluate the fit of mathematical models for drying wet wood chunks with a length of 60 ±1 mm and a diameter of 10 ±2 mm and dry wood chips size of 40 ±10 mm obtained from the branches of fruit trees stored for a 6--months period under natural conditions. Biomass moisture was measured on a monthly basis. For moisture ratio the parameters of nine mathematical models and their statistical evaluation were developed. It was found that wet wood chunks had a large shrinkage (15%) which was probably due to the high content of soft wood tissue in the branches. During the storage of wet wood chunks the moisture decreased significantly, from 47.57 to 10.84%, and the dry chips only slightly (from 11.85 to 8.04%), and in both cases at the end of drying the biomass reached an equilibrium moisture. The best model reflecting changes moisture ratio of wet wood chunks is the Page's model, but the Wang's, Singh's and logarithmic models, may also be used for drying a moist biomass under natural conditions. Drying of dry wood chips is best represented by the logarithmic model, but for this kind of material a Page's, Wang's and Singh's, two term and Midilli's et al. models can be used. Modeling in natural conditions requires consideration of ambient conditions, especially air temperature and relative humidity.
The importance of the use of waxes in the wood industry has been increasing, particularly in Europe, since consumers, due to their increased environmental awareness, avoid using biocidally treated wood and wood from tropical forests. In this research two water-repellent emulsions in various concentrations were used: polyethylene and oxidised polyethylene wax emulsion. The performance of wax treated Norway spruce (Picea abies) and beech (Fagus sylvatica) wood was tested in two sorption experiments: conditioning in high relative air humidity (vapour diffusion) and non-continuous dipping (liquid flow). The sorption properties of oven and vacuum dried impregnated specimens were determined. During conditioning, wax treated Norway spruce specimens, vacuum and oven dried, had the same moisture content as control specimens; while treated vacuum dried beech had up to 25% lower moisture content than the parallel control specimens. An even higher difference was evident in volume changes of vacuum and oven dried beech specimens during the sorption test.
Currently, the basic way of wood moisture content decrease control during drying process is measurement of that moisture content with resistance meters on a random selection of timber items. The results of that measurements are particularly unreliable, especially at wood moisture content below fibre saturation point and, on the other hand, they are influenced by accuracy of sample’s choice. Research considered the problem of monitoring of water mass flow that is removed with air in order to control the course of drying process. As a results of experiments, during drying of pinewood timber, it was stated that the monitoring of outlet air state allows for the verification of measurements of moisture content with resistance meters. The monitoring of air state at inlet and outlet of a kiln creates the possibilities of a more complex control of wood drying process.
Influence of Steam Drying Process on Wood Mechanical Properties. Results of influence of gas-steam mixture drying process on mechanical properties of material are presented. Wood species, namely oak (Quercus L.), beech (Fagus L.), pine (Pinus L.) and spruce (Picea K.) from the northern part of Pomerania region in Poland, were subject of air-steam mixture drying process in a laboratory kiln especially arranged for that reason. Measurements of the global coefficient of elasticity and bending strength for steam dried and air dried samples, as a reference, allowed to reveal the effect of wood steam drying on mechanical properties of wood. It has been recognized that air-steam wood drying causes a small decrease of the mechanical properties of the wood. While the color changes have been observed directly after process, changes in mechanical properties have to be measured. During experiments time of drying process was shorten and satisfactory results were obtained.
The high cost of fossil fuel and soaring consumer interest have encouraged people in the wood industry to look for faster and more energy-efficient methods to dry lumber. The air-steam mixture as medium of drying process was used in a laboratory kiln especially arranged for that reason. Experimental rig is based on automatic control system. At the time of drying measurements of the internal temperature, wood temperature, moisture content and humidity can be performed. During experiments time of drying process was shorten and satisfactory results were obtained.
