The methods and ventilation systems of mines, leadership, division and distribution of winds in the ventilation area, SVO, working on ventilation systems and coalfaces diagrams, the main ventilation: equipment for the main ventilation, ventilation station, equipment for introduction and control of underground winds, active and passive control, ventilation losses, wind suction, coefficient of utilization.
The economic performance of ventilation, energy performance of the main ventilation, separate ventilation economy, the importance and role of ventilation in the current mining, explanation of basic concepts, systems and forms ventilation of mines, mine pollutants in the air and their detection, mine winds composition according to the requirements of hygiene standards and safety regulations.
Laminar and turbulent air mass flow, diffusion and its monitoring, determination of aerodynamic resistance, natural buoyancy and mechanical ventilation.
Wind down as a complex balance sheet data on wind, gas and micro-climatic conditions, ventilation of the balance sheet, map documentation, ventilation parameters Q, P, R, A, etc. - their identification and evaluation, separate ventilation, micro-climate, gas ratios, critiques network proposals to improve the overall state of ventilation.
Home ventilation of mines: ventilation systems of ventilation areas, ventilation systems and schemes SVO, ventilation systems and coalfaces diagrams (U, Y1, Y2, H, Z, W, ZZ) - advantages and disadvantages, ventilation of other mine, application systems and ventilation schemes SVO and coalfaces while the effects of adverse effects (dust, temperature, methane, mash, shocks, etc.).
