Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of presteaming on the drying rate and drying defects of 3 cm - thick Quercus acutissima. Specimens for presteaming were steamed green at $100^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours and then kiln-dried to 10 percent moisture, content with controls, using the kiln-drying schedule ($T_4-C_2$) recommended by Rasmussen. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Presteaming reduced drying time approximately 18 percent from 70 to 10 percent moisture content. 2. The effect of presteaming on surface checking was not significant. 3. Presteamed specimens showed the reduction in end checking compared with controls. 4. Percents of boards with collapse, cupping, and honeycomb of presteamed specimens were slightly lower than those of controls. 5. Dry lumber grade of presteamed specimens was better than that of controls. Percent of first grade boards of presteamed specimens was 20 percent higher than that of controls and percents of second and third grade boards of presteamed specimens were 15 and 5 percent lower than those of controls, respectively.

본(本) 연구(硏究)는 증기전처리(蒸氣前處理)가 두께 3 cm인 상수리나무 (Quercus acutissima)의 건조속도(乾燥速度)와 건조결함(乾燥缺陷)에 미치는 영향을 알고자 하였다. 생재상태(生材狀態)의 전처리용(前處理用) 판재(板材)를 $100^{\circ}C$의 온도(溫度)에서 4시간동안 증기전처리(蒸氣前處理)한 후 무처리판재(無處理板材)와 함께 Rasmusse이 제시한 건조(乾燥)스케쥴 ($T_4-C_2$)을 사용하여 합수율(合水率) 10%까지 열기건조(熱氣乾燥)하였다. 그 결과(結果)는 다음과 같았다. 평균(平均) 건조속도(乾燥速度)는 무처리판재(無處理板材)의 경우 2.51%/일(日)이고 증기전처리판재(蒸氣前處理板材)의 경우 3.08%/일(日)였으며, 증기전처리(蒸氣前處理)로 함수율(含水率) 70%에서 10%까지의 건조시간(乾燥時間)을 약 18% 감소(減少)시켰다. 표면할열(表面割裂)에 대한 증기전처리(蒸氣前處理)의 효과(效果)는 거의 없었으나 횡단면할열(橫斷面割裂)에 있어서는 증기전처리판재(蒸氣前處理板材)가 무처리판재(無處理板材)에 비해 감소(減少)되었다. 증기전처리판재(蒸氣前處理板材)의 내부할열(內部割裂), 너비굽음 및 찌그러짐의 발생율(發生率)이 무처리판재(無處理板材)보다 약간씩 낮았다. 건조재(乾燥材)의 품등(品等)도 증기전처리판재(蒸氣前處理板材)가 무처리판재(無處理板材)보다 양호(良好)하여 1등급(等級)의 출현율(出現率)이 20% 높았으며, 2등급(等級)은 15%, 3등급(等級)은 5%씩 그 출현율(出現率)이 낮았다.
