Description
Summary:A systematic approach to the analysis of alternative methods of ventilating and cooling large hot mines is presented. The important factors that have a bearing on ventilation and cooling requirements and practices, such as air flow through the mine, geographical distribution of heat loads, and micro-ventilation considerations, are dealt with. The analysis of these factors leads to definitive entilation and cooling strategies, air and water process design, specifications of details, and designs of the associ ed plant and equipment.
