How Do I Design The Kiln Chamber? The chamber for a dehumidification kiln can be built from wood, concrete block, steel, aluminum, or almost any combination of these materials. It is important that the chamber be tight and insulated to about R–30. Almost all kilns under 25,000 board feet (60m3) are wood frame chambers. A wood frame is fairly easy to insulate properly, and is basically built like a well insulated garage. At Nyle, we provide you with technical drawings and expert advice on kiln chamber construction. Generally, the first step is to determine the proper stack of lumber for the operator’s needs. Then the chamber is designed around that stack. A tight, well insulated chamber serves two important purposes: it allows the recovery of as much heat as possible to provide low drying costs; and it prevents damage to the lumber that can result from loss of control of temperature and humidity when there are air leaks and poor insulation. Proper insulation is just as critical in hot climates as it is in cold climates. Nyle can help with the design of your kiln, or provide a complete turnkey system, building and all, or give you any degree of assistance in between. We’re the experts in lumber drying, and we are ready to give you experienced advice not only in the design of your kiln structure, but in the layout of your yard and operating as well. Some manufacturers provide complete kiln chambers. 13
