an evaluation of wood kiln control practices
This report, published in April 2003 by FPInnovations (formerly Forintek) and by CANMET
Energy Technology Centre (CETC) - Varennes, prompted by environmental
concerns about ways to cut energy consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions, analyses current softwood drying practices in Canada
and identifies related R&D needs. It is commonly acknowledged
that implementing advanced control systems is a good way to reduce
energy consumption while improving softwood lumber quality. The
general objective of the study is therefore to present a synthesis
of the main trends in the development of control systems and to
identify the factors limiting their implementation.
