Dehumidification Drying of Lumber Short Course

October 8-9, 2015
North Carolina State University
Raleigh, North Carolina

Dehumidification drying can produce high quality kiln dried lumber with a small capital investment. This short course will provide practical knowledge about using dehumidification to produce kiln dried lumber, and the scientific background on related wood properties. It will have value for those kiln operators beginning to operate a dehumidification kiln and those considering the purchase of a dehumidification kiln. Instruction, by university faculty, will be both in the classroom and through hands-on lab exercises using our 1000 BF laboratory dry kiln equipped with a commercial lumber dehumidification system.
