Determination of Depth of 'Borska Reka' Copper Ore Deposit at Which Air Conditioning of Working Environment Must Be Performed

摘要

The intensive technological development requires larger and larger amounts of ener-getic and nonenergetic mineral resources as its initial basis. Thus the need for exploiting deeper and deeper deposits arises, regarding that the shallower ones of higher profitability rate are mostly ex-hausted. The deep deposits exploitation generates numerous problems, or should we say challenges which must be adequately and promptly faced. One of these problems, regarding that the rock temperature, as well as the air temperature, rises along with the exploitation depth, represents determining of depth at which air conditioning must be performed. In this paper this problem will be analyzed on the example of "Borska Reka" copper ore deposit in RBB-Bor, Serbia.
