METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DRYING OF FIREWOOD Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F26B25/14 

FIELD: wood processing industry.

SUBSTANCE: method of drying firewood from wood is carried out by means of a device that fastens by fastening elements directly over the casing of a solid fuel boiler without changing its internal structure and consists of a casing and fasteners. The method is based on the principle of heat transmission from a solid fuel boiler to drying firewood by air. In other words a jacket with a liquid medium, which transfers heat to the air environment around the boiler is heated during the combustion process inside the solid fuel boiler. Warm air flows pass through the device where firewood is loaded, the wood warms up, free and bound moisture in the wood turns into steam, which is then absorbed by the heated air of the room. Firewood freely passes air flows between each piece. The air heated from the solid fuel boiler goes directly from the side on which the device is hung, and the device warms up the firewood which is located on the side of the boiler. Also warm air passes under the device and, rising up, warms up firewood from the bottom of the device and from the second side, in addition, warm air, rising upwards, flows freely between firewood and warms up the firewood located in the middle, the evaporating moisture rises and is absorbed by warm air of the room.

EFFECT: by virtue of the device for drying of firewood the drying process passes evenly, as warm air effectively warms up firewood from all sides.
