ZHANG Zhongguang. Design of a Micro-controller for Wood Drier Based on Weight Loss[J]. China Wood Industry, 2003,(4):9-11. DOI: 10.19455/j.mcgy.2003.04.004.
A practical microcomputer system for controlling wood drying has been designed and is introduced in this article. A circuit diagram for the controller is also included. The system is based on weight loss of the wood according to drying schedules for certain species of lumber. Moisture content variation of sample boards is determined by weight measurements. The system is able to effectively control temperature variation of both drybulb and wetbulb. Then the author presents the working principle, working process and some measures for antidisturbance of the system.
