“…UVOD It is known that the duration and energy consumption of the thermal treatment of frozen logs in the winter, aimed at their plasticizing for the production of veneer, depend on the degree of the logs' icing (Chudinov, 1966(Chudinov, , 1968(Chudinov, , 1984Kollmann and Côté, 1984;Shubin, 1990; Požgaj et al, 1997;Trebula and Klement, 2002;Videlov, 2003;Pervan, 2009; Deliiski and Dzurenda, 2010;Deliiski, 2011Deliiski, , 2013b). In the available specialized literature, there are limited reports about the temperature distribution in frozen logs subjected to defrosting (Steinhagen, 1986(Steinhagen, , 1991; Steinhagen and Lee, 1988; Khattabi and Steinhagen, 1992, 1993, 1995Deliiski, 2004Deliiski, , 2009Deliiski, , 2011Deliiski and Dzurenda, 2010;Deliiski et al, 2015;Deliiski, 2015, 2016) and there is very little information about research of the temperature distribution in logs during their freezing (Deliiski and Tumbarkova, 2016, 2017, 2018. That is why the modeling and the multi-parameter study of the freezing process of logs are of considerable scientifi c and practical interest.…”
