Review of ventilation and refrigeration in deep, hot and mechanized mines in Australia
By M. J. Howes
The high degree of mechanisation, which is mainly diesel-powered, has a significant effect on heat loads; heat output from this source often exceeds the heat flow from the surrounding rock. The extens
