Both axial and centrifugal fans are used to provide air circulation in mine ventilation systems, with fan efficiencies of over 80% being achievable. The selection between axial flow or centrifugal for main mine fans depends on cost, size, pressure, robustness, efficiency and any performance variation. In mines where a fan failure may result in ...
As a mine develops and the required operating point moves up the fan curve, the more difficult it will be to start the parallel fans. Once a mine enters the production phase or at least during the late stages of development the ventilation system needs to be re-evaluated to ensure that the design assumptions used in the initial modeling are ...
