Dans les séchoirs tunnels, les bois circulent d'une extrémité à l'autre, entrant humides d'un côté pour sortir secs de l'autre; la circulation de l'air se fait toujours en sens inverse de la circulation des bois. La température et l'état hygrométrique sont variables dans la longueur du séchoir et sont en principe fixes à chaque endroit, dans le temps. Ces installations ne peuvent être rentables que si elles sont alimentées d'une façon continue en bois de même essence et de même épaisseur [...] 1, record 1, French, - s%C3%A9choir%20tunnel
