The problems of energy saving are one of the most urgent problems of modern industry and timber processing is no exception in this. In all wood processing, wood drying stands out for its energy consumption. A possible direction for significantly reducing the energy intensity of wood drying is the use of modes based on the phenomenon of thermal and moisture conductivity in chambers with a natural circulation of the drying agent. The theoretical and experimental studies carried out by the authors made it possible to create a wood drying technology that reduces the energy consumption of the process by 40-45% with a certain (15-17 %) loss in the productivity of drying equipment compared to chambers operating with forced circulation of the drying agent.
