Case study: energy savings for a deep-mine water reticulation system
(Elsevier, 2012)In deep level mining, water reticulation systems are one of the major consumers of electricity. The refrigeration plants, together with the underground water supply and dewatering systems are integrated to form one complete ... -
Case study: the effects of a variable flow energy saving strategy on a deep-mine cooling system
(Elsevier, 2013)Cooling systems consume up to 25% of the total electricity used on deep level mines. These systems are integrated with the water reticulation system to provide chilled service water to the mine as well as cooling for mine ...
