EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF PARAMETERS OF LOCALIZATION OF UNDERGROUND FIRES WITH WATER CURTAINS
Purpose. To confirm correctness of the theoretical determination of the metering characteristic of a water sprayer, that one of the coefficient of distribution of the fine-dispersed water in the space of a mine working and that one of placement of the sprayers in the cross-section of the mine working. Methods. Experimental investigations. Results. The metering characteristic of the sprayer and the water distribution coefficient are determined. Scientific novelty. The determination of the distribution coefficient and its taking into account permit to raise accuracy of calculation of parameters for localization of the underground fires. Practical value. Enhancement of reliability and effectiveness of the water curtains used for localization of the underground fires.
