Ventilation network analysis, primary and secondary circuits, and refrigeration design for deep operations where heat is the binding constraint.
Go deep enough and heat, not rock, becomes the binding constraint. This covers ventilation network analysis, primary and secondary circuits, and refrigeration design for operations where the environment has to be engineered before anything can be mined.
Airflow, pressure, resistance, and the fundamentals of mine air.
Modelling and balancing airflow across a ventilation network.
Main fans, auxiliary ventilation, and airflow to the working faces.
Heat sources, thermal stress, and the case for cooling.
Cooling strategies and refrigeration design for deep operations.
Measuring airflow and gases and controlling the ventilation system.
Ventilation officers, mining engineers, and technical services staff in deep underground operations.
A mining or ventilation engineering background.
