ABSTRACT:
A method of and apparatus for controlling dryers for wood products is disclosed by measuring a temperature differential that relates to the difference between the temperature of the drying medium before and after contact with the product as the product is being dried to determine what the final moisture content will be and controlling the differential temperature to obtain the desired moisture content in the product leaving the dryer or predicting the drying time required to dry to target final moisture content.
