Description
The objective of this paper is to review the important basics of planning mine ventilation and cooling systems. As such it is as much concerned with the planning process and methodology as it is with some of the basic technical aspects.
Vent/cooling planning includes many related sciences such as: noise, illumination, fires, explosions, escape strategies, instrumentation, water quality, etc. All of these related topics cannot be addressed in a single paper and, to provide correct emphasis, only the broader issues are considered. The paper relates to the long-term general planning of ventilation and cooling system for hot-rock mines.
