Simulating and Predicting Escape Routes for Ventilation Network of Duong Huy Coal Company using Ventsim DESIGN Software
Abstract
In underground coal mining, the ventilation task plays an important role because it ensures enough fresh air for workers and decrease negative effects of deleterious gases released from coal seam as well as blasting explosions. Furthermore, when coal mines go deeper, the ventilation task is more and more important. In order to guarantee good ventilation performance, we should apply a simulation software. In this article, we present the application of Ventsim DESIGN software for ventilation network of Duong Huy Coal company as well as prediction of escape routes in urgent cases. The simulation results demonstrate that the software offers good performance, stable operation as well as the suitable escape routes in urgent cases.
