  • Patent number: 9539738
    Abstract: A wood material board hot-pressing system with a primary circuit includes a supply pipe for discharging of hot heat transfer fluid from a heat generator and a return pipe for supplying cooled heat transfer fluid to the heat generator. A secondary circuit features a pressing device for pressing wood material boards. A supply channel supplies heat transfer fluid to the pressing device and a return channel returns cooled heat transfer fluid to the primary circuit. A controlling device contains a control valve and is configured to control a flow of heat transfer fluid from the primary circuit to the secondary circuit. A secondary circulation pump with variable output is set up to circulate the heat transfer fluid in the secondary circuit. The controlling device features a heat output recording device and is configured to automatically control a level of heat output (P) supplied to the pressing device.

  • Patent number: 8832959
    Abstract: A wood chip drying system for drying wood chip includes a furnace, a drier for the wood chip and a recirculation apparatus for the recirculation of exhaust vapors into their drier. The recirculation apparatus has an exhaust vapor heater, and the wood chip drying system is designated to reduce organic compounds present in the exhaust vapor prior to the recirculation into the drier. The exhaust vapor heater includes a regenerative and/or catalytic heat exchanger which is arranged downstream after the drier and which is designated so as to heat up the exhaust vapor to a temperature which is high enough to oxidize at least a majority of particles present in the exhaust vapor.
