  1. Workshop Integrated Pest Management (IPM) New perspectives and methodes for insect control Brussel 18thof March 2013 Technical basicsofthe ThermoLignum®process Bernhard Schachenhofer

  2. The IdeabehindtheThermoLignumProcess • Insects (Pests) such as woodworm (Anobiumpunctatum), moths, carpet beetle etc. are temperature sensitive. • The majority of insects at any of the various stages of their life cycle will die if they are subjected to temperatures between 50°C and 55°C for an extended period. • →Heatuptheobjects Source: Becker und Loebe 1961

  3. The risks of heat treatment • Dimensional change, due to swelling or shrinkage, because of changes in the object moisture content • Excessive temperature differences in the object Damage to objects occurs for two reasons:

  4. The solution Control relative Humidity during the process Contextofclimatandwoodmoisture

  5. The solution • Measure the core temperature • Define a temperature difference • Control the chamber temperature Avoid large temperature differences between surface and core
