AB - This paper is concerned with the experimental research of surface temperature  of wood briquettes during cooling phase along the cooling line. The cooling  phase is an important part of the briquette production technology. It should  be performed with care, otherwise the quality of briquettes could deteriorate  and possible changes of combustion characteristics of briquettes could  happen. The briquette surface temperature was measured with an IR camera and  a surface temperature probe at 42 sections. It was found that the temperature  of briquette surface dropped from 68 to 34°C after 7 minutes spent at the  cooling line. The temperature at the center of briquette, during the 6 hour  storage, decreased to 38°C.
