Mine ventilation and refrigeration is an extremely important consideration within the modern mining environment. With rising energy costs, the depths at which mines are operating and the requirements to maintain safe working environments, there is a need to fully understand this crucial discipline of engineering. This online course will provide sound design principles with which to evaluate mines and design mine ventilation and cooling systems from the early pre-feasibility stages of the project right through to the commissioning point of the project.
After completion of the course, delegates should be able to: - Understand occupational hygiene principles - Interpret statistical parameters, have good technical report writing and understand the purposes of conducting risk assessments - Understand sections of the act, regulations and relevant Codes of Practice - Understand determining system resistance, system pressures and fan operating points. - Understand heat related concerns in deep-level mining - Understand the systematic approach to planning ventilation and cooling requirements of a mine
Terminology and definitions Mine planning procedures and phases Software and planning procedures Mine layout and mining methods Planning and active/passive ventilation control Diurnal and seasonal energy requirements Refrigeration and cooling distribution systems Primary and secondary ventilation systems Interaction and optimisation of ventilation and cooling systems Planning and alternative technologies/systems and recent research
