Mine ventilation is a crucial link in coal mine production, which not only ensures the safety of miners, but also has a significant impact on the production efficiency and coal quality of the mine. The ventilation system is an important part of mine ventilation, which includes fans, ventilation ducts, dampers, partitions, detection instruments, and other parts. The following will provide a detailed introduction to the methods and systems of mine ventilation.
1、 Mine ventilation method
According to the characteristics and actual situation of underground working faces in coal mines, there are mainly the following ventilation methods:
Natural ventilation: Natural ventilation is a ventilation method achieved through geological conditions or the natural airflow around the wellhead. It has economic and environmental characteristics, but when the depth of the mine is large or the working face is far from the wellhead, the ventilation effect is poor, which can easily cause problems such as dust accumulation inside the mine.
Forced ventilation: Forced ventilation is the use of equipment such as fans to generate airflow and promote the flow of airflow in the mine, achieving the purpose of ventilation and ventilation. It can maintain the ventilation effect of the deep mine and control the concentration of harmful gases such as gas and dust by adjusting the ventilation volume, effectively ensuring the safety of miners.
Mixed ventilation: Mixed ventilation is a combination of natural ventilation and forced ventilation, which can fully utilize the advantages of natural airflow and make up for the shortcomings of natural ventilation. Through the control and regulation of fans, it achieves gas balance and ventilation in the mine.
Local ventilation: Local ventilation is aimed at the local ventilation of the working face, which timely discharges harmful gases through equipment such as local exhaust fans, reducing the contact time and area of miners, and effectively ensuring their health and safety.
2、 Mine ventilation system
The mine ventilation system is a key equipment for achieving mine ventilation, which mainly consists of the following parts:
Fan: Fan is an important component of the mine ventilation system. Its main function is to generate airflow, increase air pressure, promote airflow movement and ventilation, and ensure the normal movement of gas in the mine. According to the use place and work requirements, fans are divided into axial flow fans, centrifugal fan, mixed flow fans and other different types. Among them, centrifugal fan is a widely used fan type, which has the advantages of simple structure, high reliability, wide adjustment range, etc.
Ventilation duct: Ventilation duct is an important component of the mine ventilation system, which plays a role in conveying airflow. The materials of ventilation ducts are generally steel pipes, plastic pipes, etc., and their selection should consider factors such as mine depth and working face distance. The design of ventilation ducts should fully consider requirements such as dust prevention, fire prevention, pressure resistance, and airtightness to ensure the normal flow of gas in the mine.
Air damper: Air damper is an important device for regulating the airflow in ventilation ducts, which controls the direction, size, and flow rate of the airflow to ensure the balance of gas in the mine. Air dampers are divided into two types: manual and automatic. Among them, the application of automatic dampers is becoming more and more widespread. It can automatically adjust according to changes in the airflow in the mine, maintaining the stability of the ventilation effect.
Partition: Partition is a partition device in the mine ventilation system, which can separate the airflow in the mine, allowing the airflow to flow along a predetermined route, and maintaining a balanced distribution of gas in the mine. The material of the partition is generally steel plate, wooden board, etc., and its installation position should be reasonably designed based on the airflow situation in the mine to ensure the normal flow of gas in the mine.
Detection instrument: Detection instrument is an important equipment in the mine ventilation system, which can monitor the concentration, temperature, humidity, etc. of gas in the mine in real time, provide timely warning and alarm, and ensure the safety of miners. The commonly used detection instruments include gas detector, dust detector, temperature hygrometer, etc. The selection should consider the gas composition in the mine, working face distance and other factors.
In short, mine ventilation is an important measure to ensure the safety of miners, and the ventilation system is an important part of mine ventilation. Choosing appropriate ventilation methods and equipment, establishing a scientific and reasonable ventilation system, is the key to dust prevention management in coal mines. In the production process of coal mines, it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring and maintenance of the ventilation system, timely inspect and repair equipment such as fans, ventilation ducts, and dampers, and maintain their normal operation. At the same time, strengthen publicity and education on dust prevention management in coal mines, improve miners' safety awareness, reduce the harm of coal dust to miners' health, and provide strong guarantees for coal mine safety production.
