One of the possibilities of wood-borer clean-up in wooden structures (ie. trusses, ceilings etc.) is a dry heat clean-up. The wooden components are heated by a hot air with temperature of 100 to 120°C up until the time, when they reach temperature of 55°C in the entire section for as long as one hour. This article describes concerns relating to the thermal flow at the phase of planning and solution for wooden components that are placed at the structure and that are not exposed to heat from all sides.
