To product good quality wood for house construction materials in a short time, wood is dried artificially using a wood dryer. It is necessary for conservation of energy to collect heat in exhaust from the wood dryer. In this study, experiments are carried out using the energy conservation type of wood dryer which collects heat in exhaust. Heat balance in the wood dryer is calculated from the temperatures and the velocities obtained from the experiments. It is found that 16% of the heat energy supplied to the wood dryer is supplied to conditioning rooms. The temperature in the conditioning room is kept 40℃ higher than surroundings by the supplied heat. As the result, it is confirmed that the wood dryer which collects heat in exhaust is effective to conservation of energy.
