ادامه مطلبThe thesis is aimed at optimizing the current ventilation system and determine the ventilation requirements for mining below 1457m level down to 2020m level. To be specific, the study established air quantity required to dilute the total mine heat load of 45207.81Kw, and the air quantity required was found to 1486.12 m³/s.
ادامه مطلبthe eficiency of ventilation systems. Mine ventilation air is a costly commodity, especially by the time it has been heated or cooled and moved to the bottom of the shaft and through the mine airways. Modiications that result in surplus mine ventilation air could bring inancial and environmental beneits.
ادامه مطلبIn colder climates or in winter months, ventilation systems may also be necessary to heat the tunnels. All of this makes for a hefty energy bill. Mining ventilation can account for up to 50% of an underground mine's energy requirements, padding out the operational costs of a mine while also raising potential environmental concerns.
