The thermodynamic properties of a one-dimensional model describing spin dynamics in the presence of a twofold orbital degeneracy are studied numerically using the transfer-matrix renormalization group (TMRG). The model contains an integrable SU(4)-symmetric point and a gapless phase which is SU(4) invariant up to a rescaling of the velocities for spin and orbital degrees of freedom which allows detailed comparison of the numerical results with conformal field theory. We pay special attention to the correlation lengths which show an intriguing evolution with temperature. We find that the model shows an intrinsic tendency towards dimerization at finite temperature even if the ground state is not dimerized.
