Calculating Fire-Throttling of Mine Ventilation Airflow
Tests were conducted in an intermediate-scale fire tunnel and a large-scale fire gallery to determine the effects of fires on the ventiliation flow. Results of these tests were applied to a full-scale mine fire conducted in the Bruceton Experimental Mine with very good agreement. The analysis predicts a limit fire size, dependent only upon the passageway dimensions below which ventilation reductions are significant and independent of fire size. For larger fires, a simplified theory, based upon the measurement of CO2 concentrations was found to be valid. Continuous monitoring of CO2 can also provide significant information relative to the fire hazards that result.
