MODEL TO ASSESS ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN INDUSTRIAL LUMBER KILNS

In this work, a kiln energy model was developed with the main objective of assessing energy consumption in industrial lumber kilns. The model simulates kiln energy consumption on the basis of a simplified description of kiln technologies, energy systems and lumber characteristics, and it requires a...
