Inmine Fire Tests of Mine Shaft Fire and Smoke Protection Systems.

摘要

The report summarizes the results of efforts to develop reasonably priced,reliable mine shaft fire and smoke protection hardware for metal and nonmetal mines. The hardware was incorporated into a viable prototype system that would minimize fire and smoke hazards. The design of the system had to be sufficiently flexible to be used in a wide variety of metal and nonmetal mine shaft station configurations. As a result of long-term,rugged field tests,an improved (second generation) system was developed. The hardware is now commercially available.
