A study on relationship of duct leakage and parameters of ducts in Quang Ninh mine

Air leakage of auxiliary ventilation ducting systems is the most common reason for the insufficient fresh air in the working face in underground mine. This value is important design parameter for mine auxiliary ventilation system that operates more effectively, with lower cost. Therefore, determination of air leakage along auxiliary ventilation ducting systems has been examined. Also, factors which affect air leakage in the ducting system have been investigated. Experimental data are made on 0.7 m and 1 m diameter ducts over sections of ducts installing towards the working face in Quang Ninh mine.
