Abstract
The purpose of this report is to record all the relevant results that contribute towards developing my cognitive and practical skills. I also have the opportunity to exercise my writing skill and to clearly communicate my ideas and experiences based on theories and experimentations. This report is a summary of 28 weeks of final year project which were done from September 2007 to April 2008. The report consist information about the objectives, the problem statements and all other related topics. It contained the final result of work done by the student, including the graphs, figures, and also some sample calculations. This report is divided into 6 sections. The report contains Acknowledgement to give credits to the person or organization; Table of Content which tabulate all the contents complete with numbering: Introduction which give the brief description of the project; Objective of study and the scope covered during training. Next, the report also contains the Methodology and followed by Results and Discussion. Finally, the report is ended with the Conclusion, References, and someAppendices.
A heat pump assisted timber dryer system has been developed which uses dry air from refrigerated air and the heat from the condenser of a refrigeration system to dry the Dark Red Meranti timber. Data acquisition system will be developed for data collection. In general, this project work will be discussed about experimental verification of the data acquisition by using the heat pump assisted timber dryer to investigate the effect of the flow rate to the wood drying rate and also to the machine'S performance. These main objectives will be the key to achieve the reduction of energy consumption in dryers industry.
