Abstract

For the modification of kiln drying schedule, rela ons between drying resistance R and moisture content or drying times were found 2.5cm-and 5.0cm-thick pitch pine (Pinus rigida Mill.) board and dimension lumber by the conventional kiln drying schedule until the average moisture content was 10%. The results of this study were as follows. 1. Drying resistance increased curvilinearly as moisture content decreased, and was higher for dimension lumber than for board at a given moisture content. The relationships between drying resistance and moisture content for the conventional kiln drying schedule and thickness of lumber were 1) $R_{2.5}=6.795\times10^3M^{-1.27^{**}}$ for 2.5cm-thick board by the conventional kiln drying schedule. 3) $R_{5.0}=5.206\times10^4M^{-1.55^{**}}$ for 5.0cm-thick dimension lumber by the conventional kiln drying schedule. 2. As drying time increased, moisture content decreased and drying resistance increased at the same time. Gradient of slope for dimension lumber was gentler than board. 3. The predicted drying times to 10% moisture content with the conventional kiln drying schedule were a little shorter than actual drying times with relatively small error. 4. It is necessary for the conventional kiln drying schedule to be modified to provide the desired final moisture content at minimum drying time with no significant degrade under severe drying conditions. 5. The kiln factors for 2.5cm-thick board and 5.0cm-thick dimension lumber with the conventional kiln drying schedule were 1.112, 1.136, respectively.

리기다소나무(Pinus rigida Mill)의 건조(乾燥)스케쥴 개량(改良)을 위해 두께 2.5cm 판재(板材)와 5.0cm 평소각재(平小角材)를 공시하여 각각 관행건조(慣行乾燥)스케쥴을 적용하여 최종함수율(最終含水率) 10% 정도까지 건조(乾燥)하고 함수율(含水率)과 건조저항(乾燥抵抗)의 관계를 측정한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 함수율(含水率)과 건조저항(乾燥抵抗)의 관계는 함수율(含水率)이 감소할수록 건조저항(乾燥抵抗)은 곡선적(曲線的)으로 증가하였으며, 건조중(乾燥中) 함수율(含水率)이 동일한 경우 건조저항(乾燥抵抗)은 평소각재(平小角材) 판재(板材)보다 컸다. 목재두께별 적용한 관행건조(慣行乾燥)스케쥴에 따른 함수율(含水率)과 건조저항(乾燥抵抗)의 관계는 다음과 같다. 1) 두께 2.5cm 판재(板材)의 관행건조(慣行乾燥)스케쥴에 따른 건조저항(乾燥抵抗) $R_{2.5}=6.795\times10^3M^{-1.27^{**}}$ 2) 두께 5.0cm 평소각재(平小角材)스케쥴에 따른 건조저항(乾燥抵抗) $R_{5.0}=5.206\times10^4M^{-1.55^{**}}$ 2. 건조시간(乾燥時間)에 따른 함수율(含水率)과 건조저항(乾燥抵抗)의 관계는 건조시간(乾燥時間)이 증가할수록 함수율(含水率)은 감소함과 동시에 건조저항(乾燥抵抗)은 증가하였으며, 평소각재(平小角材)가 판재(板材)보다 곡선변화(曲線變化)가 완만하였다. 3. 함수율(含水率) 10%까지의 관행건조(慣行乾燥)스케쥴에 따른 추정건조시간(推定乾燥時間)은 비교적 작은 오차(誤差)를 나타내며 관행건조시간(慣行乾燥時間)보다 작았다. 4. 목재두께별로 적용한 관행건조(慣行乾燥)을 유발하지 않으면서 최소의 시간에 원하는 최종함수율(最終含水率)에 도달하도록 개량(改良)할 필요가 있다. 5. 관행건조(慣行乾燥)스케쥴에 따른 kiln factor는 두께 2.5cm 판재(板材)의 경우 1.112이었으며, 두께 5.0cm 평소각재(平小角材)의 경우 1.136이었다.
