South African gold mine cooling technology used in Chinese coal mine

摘要

A DEEP-level mine cooling technology that was developed in AngloGold Ashanti's Mponeng mine, in South Africa, will be installed at a coal mine in China, the proprietary owner of the technology, IDE, says. The China National Coal Group (ChinaCoal) has chosen IDE's vacuum ice maker (VIM) 850 system for its mine cooling. Shanghai Datun Energy Resources, a ChinaCoal subsidiary, will be using the VIM system to cool a coal mine in Jiangsu province.
