| Abstract |
Until now no simple method has been available for designing mine roadway ventilation systems which took sufficient account of the inevitable air losses. Technical difficulties also arose with the introduction of plastic ducts, which are less easy to handle than sheetmetal ducts. These new rules, which have grown out of measurements in underground worksites, aim to provide managers with a manual permitting them to choose the correct dimensions and design of ventilation systems. Contents: ventilation problems in underground worksites; terminology and abbreviations; current design rules; layout and operation; basis of calculations, losses due to friction and leakage; design calculation for typical duct systems; rules for layout and assembly of ductwork; protection of ductwork against deterioration; inspection and control of ventilation. |
