Abstract

In underground mines, excess humidity, high temperature, and inadequate oxygen have always been points of concern because they lower worker efficiency and productivity and can cause illness and death. Air cooling and ventilation are needed in deep under-ground mines to minimise heat stress. As mines have become deeper, heat removal and ventilation problems have become more difficult to solve.
