About this title

Synopsis

Understand how air moves in mines and how to keep it safe and steady.

This strict, practical treatise explains the laws that govern airflow in collieries and how furnace and vacuum fan systems create a steady ventilating current. It combines clear explanations with real-world guidance, showing how temperature, pressure, and shaft design affect air movement. The author shares tested methods for arranging plant and doors, sizing drafts, and weighing the risks to miners when ventilation changes.

This edition presents the core concepts in a way that practicing engineers and supervisors can apply on the job. It emphasizes safety, efficiency, and the physics behind what makes a mine ventilate reliably. Readers will gain a practical framework for evaluating current systems, diagnosing issues, and planning improvements without overreliance on theory alone.

How furnace and vacuum systems generate and sustain air flow in a mine
Ways temperature and pressure influence the speed and direction of air
Practical layout tips for upcast and downcast shafts, and key safety considerations
Guidance on measuring and interpreting draft, gauges, and instrument readings

Ideal for mining engineers, shift foremen, and professionals responsible for mine safety and efficiency, this book helps you translate theory into reliable ventilation practice in the field.

We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone.
