Short Description
This thoroughly updated edition of the standard book provides an integrated approach to the design of mine ventilation systems and air conditioning, a field that is expected to grow significantly over the next five years.
This revised edition presents an engineering design approach to ventilation and air conditioning as part of the comprehensive environmental control of the mine atmosphere. It provides an in-depth look, for practitioners who design and operate mines, into the health and safety aspects of environmental conditions in the underground workplace.
