  Direct Fired vs. Indirect

We get this question a lot: “Should I use direct-fired or indirect-fired? What exactly is the difference?”

Nyle’s indirect-fired conventional kilns use a furnace and a heating coil. The gas flame is entirely contained in the heating coil and heats it from the inside. The air is blown over the coil and gets heated that way.

Nyle uses indirect-fired systems, even when they are a little more expensive to build because they have a better safety record and much better quality control.

• No open flame with Indirect Gas Fired Dry Kilns
• No makeup air for the burner system
• Accurate temperature and RH control

Steam Coils

Engineered steam and hot-water coils are a crucial component of adequately maintaining temperature in a kiln.  Just putting in fin-tube and piping works but doesn’t guarantee performance. Over the years, Nyle has worked exclusively with a quality coil provider to develop coils that last. Specifically for the lumber industry.

Nyle has two coil options:

• Better coils are copper tubes/aluminum fins with aluminum casing, and the whole coil is coated with a unique corrosion-resistant material, greatly extending the coil’s life cycle.
• The best coils are stainless steel tubes, headers, and casing with aluminum fins. These are virtually permanent coils.
