Heat for
dry kilns can be generated by combustion-only systems or combined heat and power systems (CHP) using a variety of fuels.

The questions were designed to determine the monthly cost of electric and gas bills, the efficiency of electric motors used along with the percentage of total motors that were highly efficient, number and type of air compressors, number of
