Spray Systems Kit
Although not standard on Wood-Mizer DH Kilns
you may choose to add on this optional Spray
System Kit which will provide extra control when
drying. The Sprayers are designed to be
automatically activated by the system when needed
and help with regulating the relative humidity
within the kiln chamber.
Wood-Mizer spray systems are designed to inject
into kiln air one gallon of water per hour for every
1000 BF. Because air temperature affects the
quantity of water evaporated (warmer air holds
more water vapor), we need to balance the
quantity of water vapor to the kiln capacity. DH
units with small heaters will require
proportionately less water than larger units with
bigger heating capacity. There are options
available for every unit so be sure that the kit
you are purchasing matches the specifications
for the unit that it will be installed in.
Wood-Mizer encourages boosting water
pressure to 100 psi for the spray system to
have the best results. Commonly this is done
with the use of a jet pump, which can be
purchased if requested. Contact your Sales or
Service Representative for more information.
Heat Booster Packages
The Heat Booster is an auxiliary
heater that can be connected
to the control and provide
additional heat and airflow
within the kiln. This upgrade is
used to;
Set Pitch: The heat booster
allows the kiln temperature to
reach 160° F to set the pitch
and prevent any future running.
Note: Pitch setting is only required when drying Pine.
Sterilize the Load: By the kiln reaching 160° F it also
sterilizes the load. During this sterilization process
any bugs or mold in the wood is killed off.
The heat booster is also used to increase the speed
at which the kiln chamber heats to the desired
temperature. This becomes useful for when you
have a larger chambers.
