Model of wood impregnation after incomplete drying as an additional energy management tool

The problem of rational energy use is directly related to sustainable socio-economic and technological development, so its solution is a complex priority. Energy efficiency in modern industry is achieved through the improvement of management methods and the use of energy-saving technologies. The aim of this work is to analyze the possibility of reducing energy consumption in the technology of wood fire-retardant impregnation after incomplete drying. The study uses experimental methods and methods of mathematical modeling. It is established that the efficiency of wood impregnation according to the criteria of time and energy consumption increases with a decrease in the time interval between the drying completion and the impregnation start, and also depends on the degree of pre-drying, which should be sufficient, but not excessive. The adequacy of the results is confirmed by their consistency with the known literature data.
