Abstract

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.
