THE DESIGN AND CONTROL OF MINE REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS IN AUSTRALIA USING MODELLING TECHNIQUES.

Author(s) : HOWES M. J.

Summary

OWING TO HIGH POWER COSTS AT MOST AUSTRALIAN MINES, REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS MUST OPERATE IN THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE MANNER IN ADDTION TO CONTINUITY OF OPERATION. THE DESIGN AND CONTROL OF THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM MUST THEREFORE CONSIDER THE VARIATION IN LOAD PROFILE AND ITS EFFECT ON THE OPERATION OF THE OVERALL SYSTEM. ALTHOUGH THE THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS DEPENDS ON THE DIFFICULTY IN ACCURATELY PREDICTING FACTORS, IT IS SHOWN THAT ARELATIVELY COMPLEX SYSTEM USING A MIXTURE OF COMPONENTS CAN BE MODELLED AND CAN PREDICT OPERATING CONDITIONS WITH AN ACCEPTABLE ACCURACY.
