Eighteen-hundred grand fir (Abies grandis) studs, curve sawn from small-diameter [approximately 4-7 inches (102-178 mm)] sawlogs, were kiln dried to determine effects
of drying schedule and restraint on energy consumption, drying time, and warp (bow,
crook, and twist). The experimental design included 18 kiln charges with three replications
of three...
In order to operate at peak efficiency, every steam heating coil in a dry kiln must fully
purge the condensate that forms within it. Failure to do so results in a condition known
as waterlogging, where a portion of the coil becomes flooded with condensate.
Waterlogging is recognized as an...
This presentation is meant to give insight to the saw mill industry where the use of 3- phase AC induction motors in kiln applications expose new and old issues in regards to maintaining machine or kiln uptime. This presentation will cover areas where application and product design have gone through...
The International Association of Aquatic and Marine Science Libraries and Information Centers (IAMSLIC), comprised of 325 members from 86 countries, has a long history of resource sharing based on personal connections among its members. In 2002, IAMSLIC developed a resource-sharing system using a unified search interface that relies on Z39.50...
