| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Methods for estimating the moisture content of wood have been developed using electrical techniques. Sawing timbers have variable density and moisture content, which leads to insufficient drying of final wood products. Therefore, a technique for monitoring moisture content is crucial for estimating the drying schedule and energy efficiency during kiln drying. We applied an impedance analysis to estimate water distribution using electrical impedance spectroscopy; introduced an electric network model using three series elements of resistance, capacitance, and parallel elements; and calculated Bode-plot curves which were in good agreement with the experimental curves. First, we measured the impedance and phase angle of piled green timbers in a dry-kiln using two parallel electrodes placed between timbers. Further, we separately estimated the resistance and capacitance of water and timber, respectively, using a ladder circuit to model the piled timbers.
