Update of the Ventilation Network Related to Livezeni Mine

Abstract

Abstract The ventilation networks are associated with the set of underground mining works used for the extraction of useful mineral substances. Over time, the ventilation networks involve a change in the structure due to either the expansion or restriction of the mining works structure. For the establishment of air flows at the level of each active mining work, specialized programs are used at international level. These programs allow the modelling and solving of complex ventilation networks. The most advanced specialized programs are those from the VENTSIM range. The paper presents the updating of the ventilation network related to Livezeni mine, with the help of the VENTSIM program.
