Badania zapylenia powietrza w warunkach kopalnianych podczas pracy prototypu kompaktowego suchego odpylacza filtracyjnego

Abstract

In the article the problem of using an innovative solution for cleaning machines and equipment located in mining excavations using
Underground Cleaning Technology (UCT) is concerned. During cleaning, an under pressure gas mixture, consisting mainly of carbon
dioxide (dry ice), which sublimates and increases the cleaning efficiency, was fed. During the work, air dust from the presence of accumulation
of coal and stone dust in the excavation and dust emissions from the cleaning process was created. The results of measurements
of dust distribution at the workplace and its surroundings were presented in the article. The active methods to reduce air dust by
a dry deduster were used during the cleaning process. The research of the air stream at the inlet and outlet of the deduster was covered.
Based on the in situ measurements, the impact of the mining equipment cleaning method on the air condition in the excavation and
the possibility of using UCT technology in underground mines was assessed.
