Wood steaming apparatus and method of heating wood

A wood steaming apparatus for heating wood ( 4 ) within chamber ( 1 ). Water within trough ( 8 ) is heated to generate "wet steam". Condensate is collected in collector ( 10 ) and pumped by pump ( 11 ) back to trough ( 8 ). The use of "wet steam" results in relatively uniform hea...

Zusammenfassung:	A wood steaming apparatus for heating wood ( 4 ) within chamber ( 1 ). Water within trough ( 8 ) is heated to generate "wet steam". Condensate is collected in collector ( 10 ) and pumped by pump ( 11 ) back to trough ( 8 ). The use of "wet steam" results in relatively uniform heating whilst maintaining relatively consistent moisture content throughout the wood. The closed loop design minimises the production of polluting condensate waste.
