Brief History of Mine Ventilation
• The Industrial Revolution brought a rapid increase in the demand for coal.
Conditions in many coal mines were quite horrific for the men, women, and
children who were employed in them during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Ventilation was induced either by purely natural effects, stagnating when air
temperatures on the surface and underground were near equal, or by fire.
George Stephenson, admitted to this
practice during the inquiries of a
government select committee on mine
explosions in 1835. A common method
of removing methane was to send a
"fireman'' in before each shift, covered
in sackcloths dowsed in water and
carrying a candle on the end of a long
rod. It was his task to burn out the
methane before the miners went into
the working faces.
NPW 2020 47
Brief History of Mine Ventilation
John Buddle (1773-1843), an eminent mining engineer in the
north of England produced two significant improvements. First, he
introduced "dumb drifts" which bled sufficient fresh air from the base
of a downcast shaft to feed the furnace. The return air, laden with
methane, bypassed the furnace.
Buddle's second innovation was "panel (or split) ventilation". Until
that time, air flowed sequentially through work areas, one after the
other, continually increasing in methane concentration. Buddle
originally divided the mine layout into discrete panels, with
intervening barrier pillars, to counteract excessive floor heave.
However, he found that by providing an intake and return separately
to each panel the ventilating quantities improved markedly and
methane concentrations decreased. He had discovered, almost by
accident, the advantages of parallel layouts over series circuits.
The mathematical proof of this did not come until Atkinson's
theoretical analyses several decades later
NPW 2020 48
Brief History of Mine Ventilation
A crisis point was reached in 1812 when a horrific
explosion at Felling, Gateshead killed 92 miners. With
the help of local clergymen, a society was formed to
look into ways of preventing such disasters.
NPW 2020 50
Brief History of Mine Ventilation
• In 1943, Professor F.Baden Hinsley produced another classical
paper advancing understanding of the behaviour of airflow by using
thermodynamic analyses.
• Hinsley also supervised the work at Nottingham University that led
to the first practical use of analog computers in 1952 to facilitate
ventilation planning. This technique was employed widely and
successfully for over a decade. This is now the dominant method
used for ventilation planning
NPW 2020 51
MINE VENTILATION PURPOSES
Supply a fresh air into the tunnel for inhalation of workers and all of
the process which happen in the tunnel.
Mine ventilation means total air conditioning:
1. Quality control (purifying and removing contaminants)
a. Gas control – vapors and gaseous matter, including radiation
b. Dust control – particulate matter
2. Quantity control (regulating magnitude and direction of airflow)
a. Ventilation
b. Auxiliary or face ventilation
c. Local exhaust
3. Temperature – humidity control (controlling latent and sensible
heat)
a. cooling; b. heating; c. humidification; d. dehumidification
NPW 2020 52
MINE AIR FLOW PRINCIPLES
• Air will flow from the place that have a low
temperature to place which have a higher
temperature (high pressure to low pressure)
• Air will flow through a low resistance ventilation
airways rather than the higher resistance airways
• Mine ventilation is essentially the application of the
principles of fluid dynamics to the flow of air in mine
openings.
NPW 2020 53
FACTOR AND CONTROL FOR
MINE VENTILATION RISKS
NPW 2020 54
SCOPE OF A MINE VENTILATION STUDY
• Review of the various airborne contaminants (dust, gases,
radon, heat, etc) and how these will be managed.
Included in this would be filtration, dilution, exhaust or other
control strategies and any cooling or heating required, and the
location, type and size of such devices.
• The primary ventilation network at all key milestones in the
development, construction and production phases.
This should include the system of airways and their sizes, friction
factors and shock losses, and the location and specification of all
fans and ventilation control devices. This is basically addressing
the issue of the volume and distribution of air throughout the
mine life.

25 Tewas 140 Terperangkap Dalam Kecelakaan Tambang di Cina
Tongchuan, Cina, Senin
Sedikitnya 25 pekerja tambang tewas dan sekitar 140 terperangkap Minggu (28/11) ketika ledakan gas
terjadi di sebuah tambang batubara di Cina utara. Kemungkinan ini merupakan musibah terburuk yang
melanda produsen tambang terbesar dunia itu dalam beberapa tahun ini.
Dari 293 petambang yang bekerja di bawah tanah ketika ledakan itu terjadi di tambang batubara
Chenjiashan di provinsi Shaanxi, Minggu pagi, 127 berhasil menyelamatkan diri atau diselamatkan, kata tim
penyelamat menurut Kantor Berita Xinhua. "Mereka yang menyelamatkan diri dari ledakan gas itu terutama
pekerja di dekat pintu terbang dan seluruh korban cedera telah dirawat di rumah sakit, termasuk 11 orang
yang cedera parah," kata petugas penyelamat di lokasi kejadian.
"Seorang pekerja yang diselamatkan mengatakan bahwa meski bekerja di sebuah lokasi sekitar 1.500 meter
di bawah tanah, ia terjatuh oleh hempasan arus udara kuat yang ditimbulkan ledakan itu," kata petugas
tersebut lagi, Senin (29/11) pagi.
Petugas penyelamat mengalami kesulitan mendekati lokasi ledakan karena tingkat karbon monoksida yang
tidak aman. Prioritas utama adalah memperbaiki sistem ventilasi yang rusak parah di tambang itu untuk
menjamin keselamatan tim penyelamat, kata Zhao Tiechui, wakil kepala Biro Keamanan Produksi Negara.
Enam tim penyelamat sedang berusaha menjangkau para pekerja yang terperangkap dan 10 tim tambahan
didatangkan untuk membantu mereka. Pemerintah provinsi tersebut telah memerintahkan semua tambang
dengan konsentrasi gas tinggi menghentikan operasi mereka untuk pemeriksaan keamanan.
