9/1/2019 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article describes NIOSH's testing of a 2nd generation roof bolter canopy air curtain (CAC) design at a Midwestern underground coal mine.
-
11/1/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article investigating the potential use of canopy air curtain systems in protecting shuttle car operators from respirable dust.
-
7/1/2015 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA report focused on validating a series of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models using full-scale ventilation gallery data that assessed how curtain setback distance impacted airflow patterns and methane distributions at an empty mining face.
-
7/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis experimentally designed air curtain, adapted for roof bolting machines used in this study, is based upon previous design prototypes, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and trial-and-error testing.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper describes the effect of machine-mounted dust scrubbers on the performance of face ventilation systems using extended-cut mining with a blowing curtain.
-
5/1/2006 - Technology NewsThe EZ-Up curtain stopping is designed primarily for use as a temporary or portable stopping, although test results indicate that it may remain durable for an extended time. It can be constructed from a variety of fabrics, including standard mine bratti...
