Abstract
A basic research effort by the Department of Wood Science at the University of Stellenbosch to develop effective low temperature schedules for the drying of Eucalyptus grandis has been in progress for the past 18 months. Since nothing was available commercially offering the required facilities, this work necessitated the design and construction of a custom-made low temperature laboratory kiln capble of drying full-sized boards. This paper describes the design philosophy as well as the ancillary instrumentation and computer/soft-ware techniques which were used in the development and commissioning of a versatile research kiln.
