    Once the operating conditions were stabilized, the necessary data and measurements were made, namely temperature, main components of the continuous dryer chambers, average ambient temperature; the components and the structure of the dryer were modeled in order to obtain the mass of each of them, fundamental parameters for the calculation of heat losses. Once the thermodynamic and physical properties of the components were determined, the calculation of heat losses by conduction, convection and radiation was developed. Depending on the mass flow of steam, it was obtained that the heat supplied to the dryer has a magnitude of 474.46 KW. The efficiency of the process was obtained as the quotient between the heat consumed by the processed wood 257.82 KW and the heat flow supplied by the cauldron 474.46 KW, obtaining a value of 54.34%.
