How to Optimize Ventilation in Mines Using Diesel Equipment?

🔹 Problem: Modern mines utilize high-power diesel equipment, significantly increasing ventilation load. Traditional airflow calculation methods overestimate requirements by 50%, leading to substantial costs.

🔹 Solution: Researchers developed a novel methodology based on field measurements of actual emissions and numerical simulation. This enables precise determination of airflow needed to dilute harmful substances to safe concentrations.

🔹 Key Results:
✅ Reduced ventilation costs through accurate emission accounting
✅ Optimized air distribution in mine workings
✅ 3.5× decrease in CO and NO₂ concentrations with proper ventilation
