Effect of Pre-Freezing Treatment on Drying Characteristics of Waterlogged Wood from Chinese Cruiser Zhiyuan
This paper presents the investigation on the waterlogged wood from Chinese Cruiser Zhiyuan. The information of wood species
moisture content
and basic density were analyzed. The species and degradation degree of the waterlogged wood were classified as mildly decayed teak and severely decayed banyan. The samples of waterlogged wood were pre-frozen at -20℃ and -79℃ for 48 hoours. The drying speed and the shrinkage rate of the samples were measured and analyzed. The results showed that pre-freezing treatment significantly reduced the shrinkage rate but had no significant effect on the drying rate. The impacts of two freezing temperatures were minimal
therefore the treatment result could be achieved by using -20℃ freezing treatment for energy saving. Although the deformation of the severely decayed banyan samples reduced during drying after pre-freezing treatment
the final deformation rate was considerably large due to the poor strength of samples. The pre-freezing process was not suitable for severely decayed samples. An optimized treatment process need to be further studied.
