In Fig. 34 will be seenthe Vertical Type Heating Coils which is recommendedwhere exhaust or low-pressure steam is to be used, or maybe used with live or high-pressure steam when high tem-peratures are desired. These heating coils are usually installed in sections,which permit any degree of heat from the minimum tothe maximum to be maintained by the elimination of,or the addition of, any number of heating sections. Thisgives a dry kiln for the drying of green softwoods, or byshutting off a portion of the radiating coils— thus re-ducing the temperature — a dry kiln for drying hard-woods, that will not stand the maximum degree of heat.
