VENTGRAPH software the unsteady State, solved by FIRE program. Program FIRE allows the simulations of unsteady distribution of air and gases in a mining excavation network after occurrence of an underground fire. case study of fire scenarios
The fire can be simulated by: • calculating the flow rate of air and fire gases in each ventilation route; • identification of the current pressure of fans, • computing the propagation of gases and concentration levels of individual gases as a function of time and location; • calculation of temperature as a function of time and location; • calculation of natural ventilation pressure; • calculation of time and zone, where flow reversal may occur. case study of fire scenarios
case study of fire scenarios - scenario I Strata Mechanics ResearchInstitute of the Polish Academy of SciencesKrakow, Poland
In the example no. 1 of fire located at the entry to the haulage/transport dip-heading, a reversal of air flow has been observed. In the example no. 2 of fire in the haulage/transport dip-heading below the level of 200, a huge reduction of flow rate is observed. The examined fire cases cause transport of fire gases to the eastern part of the mine. To minimize the hazard that may be caused by fire in the dip-heading area of the mine, it must be prepared to redirect the flow in the haulage/transport dip-heading, as shown in the examples.
