Abstract
Abstract A drive-through chamber drier for timber where the timber loads (P) to be dried are carried on a roller track (10) through a front door (11) into the drying chamber. From the drying kiln,thet imber loads (P) are removed after drying from the opposite side of the drying kiln through a rear door (13). The drying kiln comprises two or more drying chambers (K,, K 3 ; K 2 =, K4) connected in series. Of these chambers (K 1 , K 3 ; K 2 , K 4 ) connected in series, each chamber operates independently in such way that when the timber loads are moved from a first chamber (K 1 , K 3 ) to the second chamber (K 2 , K 4 ), the drying will be carried on in this chamber (K 2 , K.) starting substantially at the point which had been reached in the drying process in the first chamber (K 1 , K 3 ).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
179 words
A drive-through chamber type timber drying kiln, where the timber loads (P) to be dried are conveyed on a roller track (10) or equivalent through a front door (11) into the drying chamber, and from which drying kiln the timber loads (P) subsequent to drying are removed on the opposite side of the drying kiln through a rear door (13), characterized in that in the drying kiln two or more drying chambers (K 1 , K 2 ; K 3 , K4) are connected in series and that among these series-connected chambers (K 1 , K 2 ; K 3 , K 4 ) each chamber operates independently in the way that when the timber loads are being transferred from the first chamber (K 1 , K 3 ) to the next chamber (K 2 , K 4 ), in this chamber (K 2 ,K 4 ) the drying process is carried on substantially from that point of the drying schedule which had been reached in the drying process in the first chamber (K 1 , K 3 ).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
179 words
A drive-through chamber type timber drying kiln, where the timber loads (P) to be dried are conveyed on a roller track (10) or equivalent through a front door (11) into the drying chamber, and from which drying kiln the timber loads (P) subsequent to drying are removed on the opposite side of the drying kiln through a rear door (13), characterized in that in the drying kiln two or more drying chambers (K 1 , K 2 ; K 3 , K4) are connected in series and that among these series-connected chambers (K 1 , K 2 ; K 3 , K 4 ) each chamber operates independently in the way that when the timber loads are being transferred from the first chamber (K 1 , K 3 ) to the next chamber (K 2 , K 4 ), in this chamber (K 2 ,K 4 ) the drying process is carried on substantially from that point of the drying schedule which had been reached in the drying process in the first chamber (K 1 , K 3 ).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
Chamber drying kiln according to claim 1, characterized in that drying chambers (K 1 ,K 3 ) and (K 2 ,K 4 ) have been provided at least two in series and that chamber groups thus produced are disposed one or several in parallel with each other.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
74 words
Chamber drying kiln according to claim 1 or 2, having on one side of the drying chamber an air circulation duct (22) with blower means (20), a heating radiator (21) and intake air intake and exhaust means (23,24,25,26), characterized in that in the chambers (K 1 , K 3 ; K 2 , K 4 ) connected in series the circulating air flows (F k ) have been arranged to be opposite in direction.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
79 words
Chamber drying kiln according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that between the drying kiln chamber groups (K 1 , K 3 ) and (K=,K 4 ) there is a partition (12) with light-weight structure, preferably a partition made of flexible fabric-like material, which when raised permits the running through of its drying kiln charges from the first chambers (K 1 , K 3 ) to the second chambers (K 3 , K 4 ).
