Experimental Study on Energy Consumption of Combined Conventional and Dehumidification Drying

摘要

Conventional drying,dehumidification drying,and combined conventional-dehumidiGcation drying of wood were experimentally studied in this article.The results showed that the energy consumption in the dehumidification drying is the least but its drying time is the longest.The energy consumption in the combined drying is more than that in the dehumidification drying but less than that in the conventional drying,and the drying time is half of that in the dehumidification drying.The advantages of the combined conventional and dehumidification drying are discussed from the experiments results.
