The invention relates to a system for drying a load of wood, said system comprising: heat generating means (191) for supplying the heat for drying the load of wood (23); heat exchanging means (17) for transferring the heat produced by the heat generating means (191) to a gaseous, coolant flow for treating the load of wood (23); combustion means (191) for producing the CO<SUB>2 </SUB>coolant gas for treating the load of wood (23); a unit for treating (20) the load of wood (23), said unit comprising a central volume (21), known as a technical or treatment volume and used for drying the wood, and inlet (24) and outlet (25) hatches for the wood, arranged at the downstream and upstream ends of saidcentral volume (21); and thermal means for the dehydration or condensation (11) of the water vapour extracted from the wood during the drying cycle. The inventive system is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. It enables a load of wood to be dried using a biothermal procedure. The wood to be dried can be of any type, especially timber. |
