Natural Freeze-drying of Water-degraded Timber Structures: Feasibility Study
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The objectives of this project were: To gather data from a small scale experimental freeze-drying unit, using natural local conditions, with a view to extending the experiment to a larger scale installation sufficient to deal with timbers from archaeological shipwrecks and other timber constructions.
Description
The climate of the Vestfold Hills at Davis Base is exceptionally dry and, apart from a short summer period, the temperature is below freezing.
The dryness and the low temperature of the area makes it a theoretically ideal location to naturally freeze-dry large water-logged wooden items. A small 2m3 container housing a selection of waterlogged wood has been installed below ground level. Water vapour from the frozen samples is extracted by a wind driven venturi system.
