Laboratory of Mine Ventilation and Mine Air-Conditioning

We offer research-service works in the following areas:

• ventilation methods including:

  • projects of ventilation of mines, industrial facilities and buildings,

  • analyses of the costs of ventilation along with the development of ways to reduce them,

  • expert opinions on the elimination of methane, dust, fire and radiation hazards with ventilation means,

  • development of main fans characteristics by the PN-70G-04161 standard, together with an analysis of the stability and efficiency of their work,

  • tests of gas migration in the excavation using tracer gas Sf ₆,

    - projects of separate ventilation systems,

  • projects of tunnel ventilation in the course of their drilling and during operation,

  • development of potential mine schemes, along with their analysis;

• tests on the tightness of objects using tracer gas Sf ₆;
• energy tests of boiler fans, pumps, compressors;
• thermal tests of energy devices;
• mine air-conditioning methods including:

  • preparation of maps of the initial temperature isolines of rocks for the levels and seams projected for operation,

  • assessment of the geothermal conditions based on the maps of the initial temperature isolines of rocks for the current and projected operation levels and coal seams,

  • forecasting climate hazards in excavations with separate ventilation and in excavations with streamlined air currents,

  • development of model climate solutions for drilled voids with separate ventilation,

  • development of effective methods for the prevention of climate hazard for operational areas,
