This work present a study of a solar wood dryer in a Moroccan climate. The wood drying process is investigated theoretically by a mathematical model based on actual climate data. The model constantly gives dryer humidity and temperatures (air and walls) as well as wood temperature and moisture contents. For verification, the present drying model is executed within the simulation program with experimental data of wood drying experiments conducted in two dryers located in two different sites. The computational results show a reasonable agreement between the predicted and measured wood moisture content.

Palabras clave : Solar dryer; modelling; wood; temperature; moisture content.
