Condition monitoring experiences of machines in Hungarian Márkushegy underground mine
Journal Title: Mining – Informatics, Automation and Electrical Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 534, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper presents the results obtained during the years of vibration and current signature monitoring at the Márkushegy mining plant before its final closure. The large amount of recorded data has been used for a statistical analysis that is useful for deriving conclusions regarding the incidence of different kinds of faults occurring at the main underground and surface equipment of an underground coal mine. The importance of an inter-inspection time period on the capability of monitoring to increase up-times is revealed. The gained experience that is disseminated in the paper could be a valuable guideline for designing the condition-based maintenance of operating mines.

High-speed optical methane concentration meter with the dust compensation of mine atmosphere
We tested an optical-absorption methane concentration meter for coal mines conditions. We studied conversion characteristics and evaluated its speed performance and proposed a method of dusty coal mines air multiplicativ...
Integrated system for monitoring and analysis of methane hazards in the longwall area
Polish hard coal mines with high methane explosion hazards commonly use systems for automatic monitoring of air parameters. These systems are used by ventilation personnel in preventive actions, simulation tests and desi...
