The mine exhaust waste heat recovery system captures heat from mine ventilation exhausts to provide heating for surface facilities or pre-warm incoming air.

Benefits

• Energy Recovery: Recovers up to 60% of waste heat from exhausts.

• Cost Efficiency: Reduces heating costs in cold climates.

• Safety: Improves working conditions by managing underground heat.

Implementation

In a mining operation, exhaust air from deep shafts is passed through heat recovery units to warm surface buildings, enhancing energy use in remote locations.

Case Study

A mine in a cold region reduced heating costs by 25% using this system, improving operational sustainability.
