Evaluating the impact of auxiliary fan practices on localised subsurface ventilation

Mines are continually expanding in size and depth, leading to an increased reliance on localised subsurface ventilation systems. The use of underground auxiliary fans is a favoured method to increase and control airflow in working areas. However, the effectiveness of auxiliary fans in this regard is...
