Abstract

Solar drying has been found an alternative to conventional methods for timber drying which demands a substantial amount of heat energy. Different varieties of driers have evolved in various locations. The technical feasibility and economic viability of solar driers have been demonstrated. A case study of solar timber drying in Bangladesh has been described. Because of simplicity, ease of operation and low cost, solar timber driers, particularly of simple greenhouse type, offer an appropriate technology for a major energy saving in developing countries.
