Benefits of improved performance monitoring of mine cooling systems
(IEEE, 2014)Mine cooling system components are an integral part of a mine's ventilation system. A mine's reliance on these capital intensive components are set to increase as mines deepen. Mine cooling systems consume up to a quarter ... -
Improving the operational efficiency of deep-level mine ventilation systems
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Deep-level mines are faced with many challenges that influence and affect the gold production rate. Deep-level mines have unfavourable working conditions due to the extreme depths, additional heat sources, confined spaces ... -
An integrated energy efficiency strategy for deep mine ventilation and refrigeration
(IEEE, 2014)Mine-cooling and ventilation energy cost saving projects are implemented ad hoc and scattered throughout the system. Therefore, an overhead view and strategy is needed to help realise the total savings available on the ... -
Sustainable use of inlet guide vanes to reduce energy consumption of main ventilation fans
(2021)The rising cost of electricity has urged mines to research and implement new energy-saving initiatives. Little research has focused on energy saving techniques on main ventilation fans (MVFs). MVFs extract hot, humid air ...
