Prior Art and Its Problems As wood drying equipment, in addition to the conventional mainstream steam type drying equipment, electric type and dehumidifying dryers applying heat pumps, which have recently been attracting attention, are currently mainly used. Steam type equipment is generally large in size and has a drying capacity of several units in most cases, whereas dehumidification type equipment is somewhat smaller in scale, and electric type equipment is even smaller in scale and is suitable for high-mix, low-volume production. ing. These combinations are used by lumber manufacturers and others depending on the application, but the steam type requires high temperature drying (70 to 90'C), so humidity control is essential, and drying operations require many years of experience and technology. is required. On the other hand, the dehumidification method uses low-temperature drying (around 40° C.), so it has the advantage of relatively little damage to the wood and is easy to operate, but it has the disadvantage of high running costs.

On the other hand, the demand for dry wood is increasing rapidly year by year due to improvements in construction technology.The use of dried wood is due to the need for accuracy and prevention of gaps caused by warpage due to the high insulation of recent residential buildings, and durability. is increasing. Furthermore, in the lumber industry, there is an increasing demand for wood drying in order to increase the added value of wood and strengthen competitiveness against imported wood. However, the above-mentioned steam and electric methods cannot sufficiently meet these demands, and the dehumidification method requires high running costs and high drying costs, which leads to high lumber prices, which is not desirable. Therefore, there was a strong desire to develop wood drying equipment with low running costs.

Therefore, in recent years, attempts have been made to apply the Two-Run system to wood drying. The use of solar heat for drying wood has been studied for a long time, and the so-called natural drying method, in which wood is piled up on racks and covered with simple sheds, can also be considered solar drying in a broad sense. However, when it comes to drying methods that more actively utilize solar heat, there are currently only a few examples of drying methods, such as simple greenhouse-like solar drying tables and solar dryers, and none of these methods have reached the point where they have become widely used in practical use. This is thought to be because current solar collectors are all water-heating types, and the equipment costs are quite high, so they have not been considered for practical use in wood drying applications.

On the other hand, as an energy-saving measure, a method of producing 2-wind air using solar heat has been attempted. This method is basically an air heat collection method in which solar heat is absorbed by a certain heat collection member and warm air is obtained by heat exchange with an air flow. Recently, the application of solar systems using air heat collection to wood drying has been studied, and wood drying devices using air heat collectors have been developed. This drying equipment uses a collector with a structure in which a black-painted aluminum or stainless steel heat-collecting material is laid inside a wind tunnel whose outer surface is covered with a transparent cover. This method generates warm air, circulates this warm air to the wood drying room, and introduces it to the air heat collector, which circulates the heat collector and the amount of dried wood seedlings. This air heat collection type wood drying device has the advantage of lower equipment and running costs than existing hot water type solar collectors, so it is advantageous for drying wood.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In wood drying, the factors that affect the drying speed and quality include: ■Drying air (warm air) temperature; ■Drying air humidity;
■The amount of drying air, etc. will be revealed. On the other hand, the factors that change the heat collection efficiency of solar heat collectors include: ■ Collection air temperature;
Examples include heat collecting air volume, ■ outside temperature, ■ amount of solar radiation, etc. For a drying device that uses solar heat as its main heat source, it is important to create a device that is compatible with these two factors, but in general, the optimal values for the amount of drying air and the amount of collected air are determined by the drying speed. The factors that affect wood quality are about 3 to 5 times larger, and the optimum drying air temperature differs depending on the moisture content of wood.

In the case of the conventional wood drying device using the air heat collection method,
The distribution paths of dry air and heat collecting air are the same, and the amount of air is determined based on the amount of dry air. As a result, 3 to 5 times as much air as the optimum value flows into the solar heat collector, causing a problem in that the heat collection temperature decreases and it becomes difficult to maintain the optimum dry air temperature. Furthermore, in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to increase the area of the heat collector more than necessary, which impairs the efficiency of the device.

In addition, as mentioned above, conventional air heat collectors use a heat exchange method using convection heat transfer from the heat collecting material installed in the wind tunnel, so the circulating air in the wind tunnel has a temperature difference between the top and bottom of the air layer, making it uniform. It also has the disadvantage that the temperature does not rise to a high temperature, and since the vertical height of the air flow path must be formed narrow, the velocity of the circulating air is high and the pressure loss is large.The solar heat collection efficiency is low, and it is difficult to improve it. It was wanted.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention separates the heat collection air system and the drying air system, so that the heat collection system and the drying system can each be operated with optimum windage. In addition, we propose a wood drying device that uses a highly efficient heat-collecting efficiency collector in which a porous sheet-like heat-collecting material is installed obliquely in a wind tunnel as an air heat-collecting collector.

That is, the wood drying device using the air heat collection method according to the present invention is an air heat collection collector in which a porous sheet-like heat collection material that receives sunlight is installed at an angle in a wind tunnel whose outer peripheral surface is covered with a transparent cover. This is a wood drying device that circulates and uses 1 q of warm air as wood drying air, and the wood drying room has a double ceiling, and the air circulation fan for the heat collecting type collector is installed on the outer ceiling, and the circulation fan is equipped with a double ceiling. A drying air circulation fan is installed on the inner ceiling to circulate the drying air blown into the double ceiling between the drying room and the double ceiling. It is characterized by being a separate system.

In other words, this invention takes into account that in a drying device that uses solar heat as its main heat source, the amount of drying air and the amount of heat collecting air are different, and the optimum drying air temperature differs depending on the moisture content of wood, as described above. By considering and suggesting that the heat collection system and the drying system are separate systems, it is possible to operate each at the optimum ff1i, maximizing heat collection efficiency and drying efficiency, and controlling the amount of heat collection airflow to reduce the amount of solar radiation. This improves the solar heat utilization rate by making it possible to obtain the required drying temperature even when the drying temperature is high. Furthermore, by controlling the airflow of the drying system, variations in air static pressure in front and behind the wood in the drying chamber are reduced, and uneven ventilation can be reduced as much as possible.

In addition, the air heat collector, which has a porous sheet heat collecting material installed at an angle inside the wind tunnel, increases the effective heat transfer area and reduces pressure loss, thereby increasing the vertical height of the air flow path. This makes it possible to reduce pressure loss even when the airflow is large, and there is a sufficient heat transfer area even when the flow velocity is slowed down, so it has the effect of not reducing heat collection efficiency. This has the advantage that even if the air layer is formed widely, it is possible to uniformly raise the temperature without causing a temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the circulating air layer. Therefore, according to this heat collecting collector, it is possible to collect solar heat with high efficiency, and it is also very effective in reducing drying costs.

The heat collecting air circulation fan (5) is designed to blow air according to the temperature inside the wood drying room (2), and the drying air circulation fan (6) circulates inside the 2M ceiling and inside the drying room.

In addition, the air heat collector (1) is a wind tunnel with an airtight structure whose outer circumferential surface is covered with a transparent cover (1-2) such as a resin film with excellent sunlight transmittance, as shown schematically in Figure 3. Inside (1-1), there is a porous sheet-shaped heat collecting material (1-3) installed at an angle so as to receive sunlight that has passed through the wind tunnel and to block the air flow passing through the wind tunnel. It is something that you have. Here, as the sheet-like heat collecting material, for example, a carbon fiber screen is suitable. The carbon fiber screen is made of a carbon fiber sheet, and when it receives sunlight, the heating medium air passes through the microscopic voids of the screen, which increases the temperature, resulting in effective heat exchange (mN). When such a porous sheet-like heat collecting material is installed at an angle in the wind tunnel (1-1), the heat transfer area is increased and the pressure loss is reduced, making it possible to form a wide air flow path in the wind tunnel. This makes it possible to reduce pressure loss even for large Jl applications, and to uniformly raise the temperature without creating a temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the circulating air layer. Therefore, solar energy can be efficiently recovered and a large amount of hot air can be easily obtained.

The heating air and drying air can each be operated at their optimum air volume, making it possible to operate at the best drying speed and heat collection efficiency. Furthermore, even when the amount of solar radiation is low, the required wood drying temperature can be obtained simply by controlling the amount of heat-collecting air, and the solar heat utilization rate can be improved.
