The upside potential of an underground mine ventilation by return air systems is analyzed in the article. It is shown that subsidiary air supply depends on the ratio of the pressure head of a recirculating draught producer to the mine depression at the recirculating draught producer site. By calculation of the actual example, the authors prove that air leaks can cause emergencies due to drastic reduction of fresh air supply in working areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
