Study aims to optimize natural cooling system
A natural cooling system at Vale Inco's Creighton Mine is the envy of every deep underground mine in the world. A large mass of broken rock in an open pit acts as a natural heat exchanger, warming the mine's air in the winter and cooling it in summer. Fresh air is drawn through the rock mass into 128 slusher trenches and tramways around the footwall of the pit. The air then flows into a main collector drift on the 800-foot level and is circulated throughout the mine through three individual fresh air systems. | |
