Abstract
In order to select an optimal ventilator to minimize the ventilation cost and overall cost of mining, a user-friendly program in “C” language has been developed. By running the program “FAN.EXE,” graphical output is produced showing the fan characteristics curve and mine resistance curve. The operating points are also suggested by the program showing the blade angle, head and quantity delivered, efficiency, and total cost of ventilation for each phase.
