Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014168559A1] The invention concerns a method of drying of material, in particular timber, using warm air, where the drying process is divided into at least a first and a second subprocess (A, B), in series with each other, and the circulating flows (2) of the two subprocesses in the relevant drying chambers are conditioned to significantly different wet temperatures (TvA) and (TvB), respectively. In order to achieve a reduced energy input, the circulating air (2) in the first subprocess (A) is given a higher wet temperature (TvA) than the circulating air (2) in the second subprocess (B), and that heat in the circulating air (2) in the first subprocess (A) is recovered and transferred to the second subprocess (B).
