VentSim™ CONTROL

Industrial equipment

VentSim™ CONTROL used intellectual software connected to hardware to ensure remote monitoring, control and automation of air flow, heating and cooling to ensure safer and more productive and cheaper mine ventilation.
What is ‘ventilation-when-required’ approach’? ‘Ventilation-when-required’ is a process for regulating air flowrate in the mine in real time mode depending on data of air and gas control, location of personnel and transportation means.

Ventilation optimization
Ventilation optimization includes the following:

Dispatching in manual mode to regulate air flow rate in the mine in real time mode.
Operation of fans and dams as per schedule to regulate the air flow rate in the mine.
Synchronization of operation of several fans or dams by means of algorithms.
Automatic control system for distributing air flows in the mine by means of regulating the load of fans and positions of dams based on data of air and gas control and positioning system.

Why is ventilation optimization required?

Safety

VentSimTM CONTROL registers any changes in the ventilation system (triggered manually and automatically)
VentSimTM CONTROL ensures control of warnings of various hazard levels
VentSimTM CONTROL allows control of safety requirements

Power consumption efficiency

The first important step is switching to remote control of fans utilizing the appropriate equipment and hardware
VentSimTM CONTROL optimizes ventilation operation by decreasing power losses
Depending on executed levels of control VentSimTM will allow decreasing the power expenses by 10-50%

So why is ventilation optimization required?

Optimization decreases the time of air cleaning following blasting works/release of methane and increases the mining volume (should it be limited by ventilation capabilities)

When shifting to remote control;
With use of total air and gas control VentSimTM CONTROL promotes faster cleanup of air in the mine so that personnel can return to work quicker;
VentSimTM CONTROL optimizes the use of fresh air by more efficiently satisfying the requirements of transportation means;
