A rther dta9d.Yanta3e results from the neoessit2 of having two kline in operation at once to utiliss the circulated air produced. .versIble circulation is aio impossible sines th one large chamber the two kilne is elwas supplied with the entering air. This faotor has a tezi&euc to Gauss an unequal distribution of moisture in the kiln d a temperature drop across the loads and therefore a ultant uneven drying condition of the lumber in dlffsrat parts of the load. The two fuatuee which are reap onetbie for the popu of the kiln are the simplicity of design and the distribution f air to the varIous layers of lumber load. arious other types of cIrculating aystens have been dsv1aid in whiob the natural tendency of the air movement has been aueted, One of these is the supsr"hostsd. steam kiln in whtc circulation is augmented by the current eatablisbid by the flow of steam from the Jets. Anothe is the condenser kiln in which the air is passed oyer aol vter pipes cadenstng the water in the sir and tendiri oaue t)e 1z' tbsrebr to moie ao,nward 1og the sidea th. kiln.

Tb. rate of air circulation was determinoô. b 135U8 Of aiking smoke teats on rune with the alowar rates of air otremla' tton and comparing these with their number of revolutions per mUiute to those with higher revolutions per minut A standard schedule was used on each run so that variations from other osuess would be held at a minimum. Tate schedule was one of low temperatures. The otual runnixg schedule was em followe z]b et u1b tumi4it; 4 150 150 100 12 130 119 70 24 135 24 135 110 45 2 136 101 30 160 100 a 60 be moisture content of the er reduced to the desired 10% before completion of the schedule. The lumber wa "pu.]lsd" therefore, sines I of the 33 this would have little effect on thi destre4 reeilte. During all of the kiln runs, the air vents waro clod is variation therefore occurred in actual huini&lty in Oom.! pariaon to scheduled. tty. This is noto& on the Elati bowing the curves for each tln run. In all, ten iifXerent charges were run through the Uln at TUTIng rates of air otrault ion. Six of thcs were slim.n?ted frs being ocusiderid with the data fro* the other runs beeauae of the fact tt minor avtdable influences outaide of air circulation effeoted the final result.s. This left only four actual runs on bioli oomar Leone could be made. This number ie hardly sufficient to form sn busto oonoluaiona, but dua to lack of suffiotout time, further runs could not be nie. Uoever, noz'al variations xaa be r4oted which seem to apply to the zuns and be helpul in further experimentation on the subject. be first aarge of lumber that was run in the kiln was a thousand feet of Dauglas Ptr clear luabor. it was Lrte with an air circulation of 280 feet per minute. The required length of time was used Lu drthg the lumber. The origthal moisture oontozt of the load was 74% while the final moisture content wa. l, as øhown on Plate I. a ma shown in the diagreas, the moU3ture re:iuctiori was iap.Lil durtxig the initial stages of drying but raduall,y reduoei as tie run preceded. Itelative h iditv in the kiln reduced at a constant rate throughout the ran. 34 The lumber when removed from the kiln had a slight condition of casebardening. Small euruce obecke were rioted on some of the flatgrair pieces, but they were shallow enough to be removed br surfaoi.n of the luber. in the eoond run that wtte used (Plate [I), the air circulation was inoreaned to 60 feet per minute. he charge again cisiste of one thousand feet of Douglas Ptr olear lumber. The lumber entered the 1ln t a moisture oontont of 6O and was removed at the eeventysirth hour when it reached a moisture oortent of lO. o ftal steaming treatment was given the lumber in this run ad as a result, a elightls greater degree of easehsrd.ning was noted than resulted In the first run. urfaoe hsce, however, er of about the same number end depth as those in the lumber on the previous run. The miext run, (Plate III) as made hsvLg a rate of air otroulatton equalltn 400 feet per minute. The charge entered the fln with en original moisture onteit of 7. it was removed at the end of b4 hours. Casehardening d checktrg ondtttona were both slight, equallth those of the first rn completed. Due to the faot that the automatic he.t controller shut ofl at the eu of 4 hours, the lumber w removed from the kiln with a final moisture content of 12. This however, dtd not effect the value of the dat a taken. The final run for which date. was approprttts or thi 35 ezperthent was m;de with an air irculattcm rate of 440 feet per mirutethe maximum which could be produced in the kUn with a tboue.nd feet of lumber. The original notstura ooitent of this load was 72. The lu.uber wa removed at the end of ?6 houre, (Plate IV) at which time the moisture oontext w;; l. Again a Bobardening atd ckieakig tn the lumber was very 8ltght.

In the foUowing discussion on re uita, only the most evident variables til be dtso.esed, and these will be considered as tentative results ratier than aetua,l facts relating to kiln drythg prooe3uZe, be. of the limited amount of experimental data from which oczalusia can be wie. In the ezprtm.nta1 work oon ducted, three noticeable features d.reloped. Probably the most not beads feature of a bih rate of air circulation in oor.apartan to low be the resultant tfsot it hae on the bumtdit,y control in the irtin. prom the Plates previously desqribsd, it will be noticed that those kiln runs having higher rates of air circulation also tend to hays a greater correlation between actual and sehethilod. humidity. 3inoe the humidity in the rcine wire all above that of the actual scheduled humidity, the runs with the higher humidity were therefore the rune with the lower rates of air otrcltton. This develops the second nottoesols feature of the experiments, namely; the rapidity of moisture reduction in runs with high rates of Sir OtT* cutatton in comparison to low. The tendency of more rapid moisture redaction in those kiln rime with higher ratee of air circulation is not 41 B) noticeable be expecitei. however, it i evident .ent terd to assume a more c.ins tent that the motetur ctrop whan a htgkier rate of air ctrcu1t ton is used than wbo a lower rate is teed. The initial motstre content drop for the first few hours of drrtg seems to be quite ounetant for both high and low rates of oircu1&tiou. Latsr however, it is rioticeabla tt charges cent tune to riduci in notature content more raj.ily with the htghr rates of o Lroulatt on. The final feature noticeable in the experimental runs conducted was duo to the more rapid moisture edLotton, and consisted of a redctton of time necesar to 1i7 tne lumber to the deetreI moisture content. e to the fact that numerous other vart*bl wire present in the kiln runs that were di, the above results should be a4euatsl checked before tbe shonU be taken as sotLial conclusions. in conducting further experiments on air oirculatto., ad.yteable features to be especia1i watched should be: the Axact rate of air circ.lation, the kind of lumber and the direction of graIn of the lumber, and the ortina1 iistuit content of the lumber. it should be desirable to maintain humidity in the tLln as close to that ecbeuled a possible. This aai be done bp means of leaving aix' vents of the kiln open urtng th kiln runs.

The fesetbt1it of such low temperatur. echedulea in ommeroia1 drying of Douglas Dir, has not osen doteiminid. It baa been found that Doaglas Dir causes more dtiflculty in drying then does Western .11ow Pine, and so heretofore, high te rature schedules have bien almost universally ussd. Th, following data on low temperature schedules for Doglae ?trweretaken primarily for the purpose of de termthing the relationship of drying time necessary to reduce the lumber to a desired moisture content, in come parison with the time necessary for higher temperature schedules. 45 a Sohedulia.....iExpar.tment iuimber One ous$ Io The first run of lumber on low temperature chedules was dried on a eahedule comparative to those uee in the Pine Regions. The temperature of the dry bulb thermometer was bald constant until moisture reduction from the wood. was verj slow. The hmid1t4y in the t1n was Ccritrolled by lowering the wt bulb temperature. A otroulatiorA of approximately 530 feet pr mjnute was bail during the ran ,and no reverse circulation was used. The calculated original moisture content of the load wae 54%. B.J L The etarting schedule used on the Ictin run was a dry baib tespoxatura of 110 d.greea with a 70 per cent relattys humidity. This schedule was da practical because of the high velocity of air flowing throigh the kiln during the run, thereDy z'oluotng the h.uiidtty directly over the cur face of the lumber. Although the vtaooatt of tAo water in the wood w greater at this teerature, tho captiler- ity was also greater and a balance was therefore effected.. Tb. vapor pressure on the .nterior wid extorter of the wood at this temperature was pproxite1i the same. 46 £[ DATA RUk . - _* I ......5000 pour4s Total etgbt of LOad.-. %etght of ruU, Baf.flea, and Stickers -s'--13?5 pounds pounds eight of umber umtdit.y eiht ttu 100 70 5000 54 110 100 70 4800 45 2 110 100 70 4500 33 26 110 10 70 4425 30 33 110 96 60 4326 25 47 110 92 50 4115 19 59 110 92 50 4150 18 71 110 92 50 4075 15 bl 110 92 50 4050 14 95 110 92 50 4025 13 107 110 92 50 4025 13 131 130 9? 30 4025 13 143 130 97 30 4000 12 151 130 97 30 3950 10 154 160 160 100 S In, Dr7 Bulb Wet Bulb 0 110 6 20 houre.
