This conference will feature a series of presentations focusing on the modelling and implementation of ventilation systems, cost savings, productivity, safety, and efficiency improvements and advances in ventilation design and modelling will be given from guest keynote speakers, industry participants, and some of the Howden Ventsim team.
Establishing Site-Specific Preset Values in Ventsim | 10:45 AM
When using Ventsim for future modeling, it is important to use resistance values representing the typical mining methods and ventilation control construction. In this presentation I will cover techniques for in-situ measurement and data reduction to establish custom Friction Factors for unique airways such as shafts and escapeway ladders, resistances of ventilation controls such as curtains, air doors and bulkheads, and regulator curves for both louver-type regulators and drop-board regulators.
