Cooling pathways for deep Australian longwall coal mines of the future
Cooling of coal mines in the Bowen Basin, characterized by steep geothermal gradient, is presently achieved mostly through rental surface bulk air cooling in summer months. This paper argues that future mines will be required to focus their cooling resources more intensively to manage a challenging...
