Abstract

The author reviews alternate designs of junction of a ventilating passage and an air shaft, and alternative configurations of a ventilating passage connected to the mine main fan. Based on the aerodynamic parameters of the considered ventilating passages, the author proposes an optimized version of the cross-section and geometry of a ventilating passage, and analyzes energy costs to supply the mine main fan in the discussed variants of the ventilating passage configuration.
