Method for xylophagous wood protection comprises cooling wood to between -20oC and -30C, holding temperature for one to two days and then heating slowly to ambient temperature

摘要

The wood at ambient temperature is subjected to a cooling cycle during which it is cooled to between -20oC and -30oC. The cooling speed is between 4oC/hr and 12oC/hr and the temperature held for between 24 and 48 hours. The wood is then heated to ambient temperature at a speed of between 4oC/ hr and 12oC/hr.
