When choosing drying equipment, it is necessary to take into account the requirements for drying quality, climatic operating conditions of the dryers, drying volumes, personnel qualifications and many other factors. It can be unequivocally stated that not any equipment, even imported, will provide an effective process for the specific conditions of a particular plant.

Let's consider a number of fundamental requirements for drying chambers, which should help manufacturers both when choosing drying equipment and when reconstructing existing drying chambers and building new ones.

These requirements include:

Aerodynamics of drying chambers (drying chamber ventilation)

In drying chambers a uniform circulation rate of the drying agent (air) through the lumber must be ensured.

The speed of air movement through a stack of lumber depends on the species and thickness of the boards being dried. Effective for thin boards made of wood that dries quickly high speed circulation 2.0-2.5 m/s and higher, in some cases reaching up to 5 m/s.

For thick boards and especially hard-to-dry rocks, the speed can be reduced by 2 times without reducing the performance of the chambers, and the quality will be higher than at high speed. Thus, it must be possible to regulate the speed by at least a 2-speed motor. Note that low speed is also effective when drying quickly drying rocks when drying from 18-20% to final moisture content.

Drying chamber fences

Drying chamber fences must be sealed, that is, there should be no unorganized air and moisture exchange with the environment.

Drying chamber fences must have effective thermal protection (insulation) with a heat transfer coefficient of no more than 0.3-0.4 W/m² ºС.

This requirement is due to a greater extent to the need to maintain drying conditions, and not just to save thermal energy.

Thermal equipment

The drying chamber must have sufficient thermal power, providing rise and maintenance of temperature at a given level.

Heaters for drying chambers must be made of stainless materials.

Ventilation of drying chambers

Ventilation of drying chambers should provide stable parameters of supply air, both in summer and winter ( air must enter the chamber with a positive temperature). This is achieved by using a system for restoring air parameters in the chambers - recuperators.

When using drying chambers without recuperators in winter, the performance of the chambers decreases by 20-40%. Incoming cold air not only condenses moisture from the air, which causes an increase in drying time (at the first stage), but also negatively affects the quality of drying lumber.

Systems for monitoring and regulating the drying process (automatic drying)

Drying chambers must be equipped with a psychrometric climate control system.

The UGL system shows the worst results– control of temperature and equilibrium moisture content of wood.

Studies have shown that the adequacy of the readings of the UGL system is worse than that of the psychrometric system, which means that the drying regime is disrupted and, as a result, negatively affects the quality.

Structurally, the UGL sensor is a plate made of limb wood or cellulose fixed between two electrodes. Based on the value of electrical resistance adjusted for temperature, the equilibrium moisture content of wood in a given climate is predicted. The chambers must be equipped with a system for monitoring the current wood moisture content.

Much worse drying results are obtained when the process is carried out over time.

Process regulation should be carried out automatically.

In drying chambers, the drying process is carried out at a relatively high temperature and high moisture content (high partial pressure of water vapor) of the drying agent. This places the following requirements on the enclosures of drying chambers: tightness, moisture-proofness, good thermal insulation properties, durability and reliability.

Sufficient tightness and moisture resistance of the fences ensure that the specified drying mode is maintained in the drying chamber. Leaks in the chamber (leaks in the door ledges, at the entry points of ventilation pipes, psychrometric units, at panel joints and other gaps) cause inevitable leaks of the steam-air mixture and additional heat loss.

In stationary chambers, significant heat losses are caused by exfiltration (leakage by filtration) of steam over the entire area of ​​walls and ceilings that have a capillary-porous structure. Exfiltration and leakage of steam through leaks, as well as infiltration (influx) of outside air into the chamber reduce the degree of saturation of the drying agent in it, even when the ventilation pipes are closed. Therefore, to maintain the drying mode and maintain the integrity of the material, it is necessary to resort to moistening the drying agent with steam or sprayed hot water. The actual amount of steam loss depends on the porosity of the fences and the degree of their moisture insulation. In cells with walls made of poorly baked bricks without sufficient moisture insulation, the total heat loss through the fences can exceed the calculated values ​​by several times.

The thermal insulation properties of the fences (especially the ceiling) during the operation of the chamber should not allow moisture condensation on the internal surfaces, i.e. so that the temperature on these surfaces is higher than the dew temperature. To do this, the condition must be met

TO , (5.1)

Where TO– the required heat transfer coefficient of a given fence design, W/(m 2 K); a 1 – heat transfer coefficient from the drying agent to the inner surface of the fence, W/(m 2 K); t c– design temperature of the drying agent, ºС; t r– dew temperature corresponding to a given state of the drying agent, ºС; t 0.з– estimated winter outside air temperature, ºС.

When developing external enclosures of drying chambers for drying conditions with soft and normal modes, the value of the heat transfer coefficient TO should be taken within the range of 0.35...0.45 W/(m 2 K). In case of insufficient thermal insulation ( TO> 0.45 W/(m 2 K)) steam condensation will begin on the internal surfaces of the fences, which will cause additional drying of the environment in the chamber, making the drying process difficult.

The design of external fences of stationary cells must be multi-layered, with sufficient thermal insulation, with an air gap ventilated by outside air between the thermal insulation and outer protective layers. It is imperative to provide a vapor barrier that prevents the penetration of water vapor from the drying agent into the thickness of the fence. The vapor barrier layer should be located first on the inside of the fence. For overlapping, it is allowed to lay a vapor barrier layer on top of the supporting base, but always under the vapor barrier layer (insulation).


The penetration of water vapor into the enclosure occurs due to the large difference (up to 0.1 MPa) in the partial pressures of steam inside the chamber and outside it. Water vapor, penetrating into the fence, in the cooling zone to dew temperature, condenses (especially in the air and vapor barrier layers). This leads to an increase in the thermal conductivity of materials and to a deterioration in the thermal protection of the fence. Moistening only the thermal insulation layer increases heat loss from fences by 5...15%. Periodic freezing of moisture in the outer layers of stationary fences contributes to their premature destruction.

To reduce the likelihood of steam condensation in the thickness of the fence with a layered structure various materials should be located in the following order: to the inner surface - dense, thermally conductive and low vapor permeable materials; to the outer surface - porous, low thermal conductivity and more vapor permeable (in particular insulation). The air gap should be located closer to the outer surface and ventilated with outside air.

During the drying process, due to the release of volatile organic acids (formic, acetic, propionic) from the wood, an acidic environment is formed in the chamber. The degree of its acidity depends on the characteristics of the wood, the drying modes used and varies within pH = 3.4...4.2. Acid-containing condensate, entering the fence, contributes to the rapid destruction of brick, cement-lime joints between them, reinforced concrete, as well as ordinary and low-alloy steel.

To ensure the necessary durability of internal fences and equipment of drying chambers, it is necessary to use structural and protective materials that are resistant to aggressive environments.

Painting and drying booths for metal structures are widely used for painting a wide variety of metal products. Such cameras are indispensable in industrial production the following reasons:

  • they allow you to reduce the difficulties of painting parts or products to a minimum while guaranteeing high productivity, as well as quality of work;
  • reduce the negative impact on the environment to acceptable limits;
  • minimize factors that may negatively affect the health of personnel servicing the chamber;
  • comply with the standards of SNiP, PEB, PPB and other regulatory documents.

A well-equipped painting and drying chamber for metal structures consists of the following elements:

  • room for painting;
  • filter systems;
  • supply and exhaust ventilation systems;
  • heat generator.

Metal structures are painted in a painting room. The air that comes inside from the street, if necessary, is heated using a heat generator to the desired temperature. Through the supply ventilation system, as well as inlet filters, the air then enters the USC premises. Polluted air is cleaned using outlet filters and then released into the atmosphere through exhaust ventilation.

When painting metal structures, the greatest difficulties arise in the overall dimensions, as well as in the method of placing and moving products in and out of the chamber.

SPK GROUP offers an effective solution to these problems thanks to:

  • wide range of cabin sizes;
  • range of heating and ventilation units;
  • reinforced cabin structure;
  • the possibility of using beam cranes to distribute the product indoors by opening the roof of the chamber;
  • the possibility of arranging the chamber floor with various product transportation systems;
  • the possibility of producing non-standard painting and drying chambers for metal structures according to your technical specifications.

V. Fire safety requirements for wood drying rooms (drying chambers).
5.1.When drying wood in petrolatum, it is heated in tanks to a temperature of 120-140°. The tank must be filled with petrolatum in such a way that when a package of wood is lowered into it, the liquid level in the tank rises no more than 60 cm to the top edge of the tank (to avoid liquid overflow). To reduce foaming of petrolatum, it is not recommended to immerse wood covered with ice or snow in it.

5.2. The premises where petrolatum baths are installed are equipped with supply and exhaust ventilation, and an umbrella with an exhaust pipe is mounted above the bath.

5.3. When drying wood with high-frequency currents in dryers, the electrodes must be in good condition and ensure good contact with the wood to avoid sparking. Before stacking wood for drying with high-frequency currents, you must make sure that there are no metal objects in it. With this drying method, the doors of the drying chamber are blocked with a device for supplying voltage to the electrodes; temperature control and regulation in dryers is carried out by automatic devices.

5.4. For each dryer, the maximum permissible rate of loading with materials and the maximum permissible operating temperature are established. Maintaining the specified operating temperature of drying chambers should be carried out by automatic temperature controllers. Clean the surface of heating devices from waste wood, debris and dust after each unloading of the drying chambers.

5.5. When drying with infrared rays, the permissible minimum distance from the lamps to the surface being dried is also established for each dryer (depending on the power of the lamps and the type of material being dried).

5.6. Operating drying chambers with faulty automatic equipment is not allowed.

5.7. Drying chambers (rooms, cabinets) for raw materials, semi-finished products and painted finished products must be equipped with automatic shutdown of heating when the temperature exceeds the permissible limit.

5.8. Staying of people and drying of work clothes in drying chambers is not permitted.
VI. Maintenance, maintenance and scheduled preventive maintenance of fire protection systems and installations in the TSU carpentry workshop.
6.1. The premises of the carpentry workshop must be equipped with an automatic fire alarm system (AFS) and a warning and evacuation system (SOUE) for people in case of fire. In addition, painting booths using flammable liquids and flammable liquids, drying chambers, cyclones (hoppers) for collecting flammable waste must be equipped with automatic fire extinguishing installations (AFE).
