9/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper summarizes recent accomplishments in a research program that is addressing mine fire prevention, detection, management, and suppression, and provides an overview of the next phase of the NIOSH mine fire research program.
-
1/1/1991 - Reports of InvestigationsThis report details the results of a series of large-scale experiments where small coal fires were used to ignite the conveyor belt at specific air velocities, and showed conditions required for early detection of conveyor belt entry fires.
-
3/1/2015 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article detailing experiments conducted to evaluate the response characteristics of commercially available gas, smoke and flame sensors to fires of common combustible mine materials.
-
12/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes the in-mine evaluation of a smart mine fire sensor system and discusses recommendations for improving the system.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersFive mine fire experiments were conducted in a 2.08-m-high, 2.90-m-wide ventilated mine entry in NIOSH's Safety Research Coal Mine to determine the effect of the dispersion of carbon monoxide (CO) on mine fire detection.
-
6/1/2002 - Conference papersAn evaluation of multiple mine fire sensor types for nuisance alarm discrimination. The response of multiple fire sensor types to three small coal fires and three small conveyor belt fires in the presence of diesel emissions was evaluated.
-
5/1/1997 - Reports of InvestigationsA report evaluating a wireless signaling and warning system for underground mines applicable to both coal and non-coal mines. A TeleMagnetic Signalling Systems wireless ultra-low-frequency electromagnetic signaling system was installed and tested.
-
7/1/1990 - Conference papersAn ideal fire warning alarm system for underground mines would be low cost, convenient, fast, reliable, and able to warn all underground workers. The U.S. Bureau of Mine devised a one way communication system employs a large loop antenna and transmitter...
