Summary

With the increasing depth of coal mining, the hot and humid environment at the mining faces is becoming more severe. Mining in these conditions, coupled with the hazardous effects of coal dust, poses a significant risk to the health of coal miners. To improve the working conditions in underground coal mines, this study proposes a hybrid solution that combines evaporative cooling and dust suppression in fully mechanized working faces. Numerical models of the mining face are also created to simulate the cooling effects of the proposed solution. Additionally, the migration laws of water droplets from the spray system are also studied. The results indicate that the proposed solution can effectively improve thermal environments and suppress coal dust. This research can enhance the workplace safety in underground coal mines and provide valuable insights for addressing high airflow temperatures and concentrated dust levels.
