Summary

THE PAPER OUTLINES OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENERGY SAVINGS WHICH COULD BE MADE IN SOUTH AFRICAN GOLD MINES BY THE USE OF SHAFT-BALANCED HYDRAULIC COOLING AND HEAT REJECTION SYSTEMS. POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL SAVINGS THAT COULD BE ACHIEVED IN THE FIELD OF ROCK HOISTING BY THE SIMULTANEOUS USE OF BALANCED HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS FOR MINE COOLING AND ROCK HOISTING ARE DISCUSSED. THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF A BALANCED HYDRAULIC SYSTEM USED AS AN EFFECTIVE HEAT EXCHANGER FOR THE TRANSPORT OF AN 11 MW REFRIGERATION LOAD FROM SURFACE TO THE -970 M LEVEL OF A HOT GERMAN COAL MINE IS DESCRIBED.
