Monitoring and regulating technological parameters in the wood drying process

Abstract

The objective of this research is the developing of the automatic control system to monitor and regulate the technological parameters in the wood drying process. This system is designed to reduce drying time, improve the quality of dried wood as well as compatibility for wood dryers and wood drying conditions in Vietnam. The researcht has also developed a humidity sensor model for measuring the parameters of moisture in the dried wood.

By using the samples and electronic sensors, the research has measured the humidity in Vietnam’s timbers and saved the data in each batch drying in the database for the development and improvement of wood drying process.
