Design of drying plants for drying of crushed wood . Part II . Auxiliary equipment” by Mikhail Ivanovich Vedernikov is an indispensable source of knowledge for all who are interested in wood processing technologies and the design of appropriate equipment. This work is a continuation of the first part, where the author delves into the details of the design of auxiliary systems necessary for effective drying of wood. Vedernikov, an experienced engineer and specialist in the field of woodworking, shares his knowledge and practical experience that will help readers not only understand how to design drying plants, but also how to optimize their work with the help of auxiliary equipment. The book is written in an accessible language, which makes it understandable for both woodworking professionals and students and novice professionals. The main theme of the book is the design of auxiliary equipment, which plays a key role in the process of drying wood. Vedernikov considers various aspects, such as the choice of materials, designs and technologies that affect the efficiency of drying plants. It also highlights the importance of choosing the right assistive systems, such as ventilation, heating and humidity control systems, which can significantly improve the quality of the final product. This book will be especially interesting for engineers, designers, as well as technical students who want to deepen their knowledge in the field of woodworking. It can also attract the attention of wood material entrepreneurs and professionals working in the field of ecology and sustainable development, since proper drying of wood directly affects the conservation of natural resources. The topics raised in the book go beyond simple design. Vedernikov touches upon issues of energy saving, ecology and improving the efficiency of production processes. He shares his experiences on how the introduction of new technologies and approaches can lead to significant cost reductions and increased productivity. Readers will be able to learn about current trends in the design of drying plants and auxiliary equipment, which makes the book relevant and useful in a rapidly changing market. Vedernikov's style is distinguished by clarity and logical presentation, which makes it easy to perceive even the most complex technical aspects. His previous work, such as "Designing drying plants for drying wood. Part I" and "Technology of wood processing", also received recognition for their practical orientation and accessibility. Vedernikov actively shares his experience and knowledge, emphasizing the importance of the theory, supported by practical examples. Thus, "Design of drying plants for drying crushed wood. Part II . Auxiliary equipment" is not just a textbook, but a real find for anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge in the design and operation of drying plants. This book will become a reliable assistant for both students and practitioners seeking to improve their skills and knowledge. If you are looking for information about modern technologies of drying wood, how to optimize production processes and improve the quality of products, then this publication should definitely take place on your shelf.
