ABSTRACT

Some new heat pipe panels were suggested and manufactured for timber drying vacuum chambers. These panels are based on loop and vapor-dynamic thermosiphons. They have an isothermal surface temperature which is maintained automatically. Solid sorption panels were tested to improve the drying technology of the vacuum chamber. Different adsorbents were tested experimentally for such panels.
