2、 control techniques have been developed in the USA,UK and other western countries where their applications are more applicable to low to medium coal seam heights up to 3.0m.Dust control in thick coal seams appears to be more problematic,particularly due to the differences on face airflow patterns an
3、d potentially higher dust generation and pick-up in thick seams.,Introduction,With the support of ACARP,the CSIRO has been involved in the studies of ventilation and respirable dust flow patterns around the longwall shearer and the use of various engineering dust controls through the application of
4、CFD modelling techniques.During these simulation studies,the longwall shearer scrubber system has shown to be capable of capturing and significantly modifying the airflow patterns around the maingate cutting drum and reduce dust roll-up towards the walkway area.,Introduction,The objective of this pr
5、oject was therefore to develop and demonstrate an innovative shearer scrubber system to reduce operators dust exposure levels on longwall faces.The design of the new scrubber system has incorporated the CFD modelling findings,including the desired scrubber capacity,the inlet locations and the airflo
6、w discharge direction from the elutriator.The proposed field trial at the selected mine sites did not materialise as planned due to site access and contractual issues.,Introduction,It was with the support of BMAs Broadmeadow Mine and their management team that the proposed field trials were finally
7、conducted.After a few failures during the trials,a modular designed scrubber unit was successfully installed to the MG ranging arm of the longwall shearer.This allowed the evaluation of the scrubber.,CFD models have been developed to investigate air and respirable dust flow patterns around the longw

12、,The completion of this project required the design and manufacture of 3 individual units before the final design was successfully fitted and trialled at BHP Billitons Broadmeadow Colliery in the Bowen Basin North Queensland.Prior to the final scrubber design several major mining operational issues
13、had to be considered.The most pressing problem was to design a system that would actually stay on the shearer.,Our Failures,Our Failures,Our Failures,Our Failures,Shearer Scrubber Design,The scrubber is a modular designed system consisting of an intake hood directed into the intake ventilation,a hyd
14、raulic driven fan sucking the air into an impact filtration system and a discharge duct forcing the clean air under the shearer body towards the face.A series of sprays are incorporated into the sides of the intake hood to create the first agglomeration impact point for the dust/water mixture prior
15、to impact filtration removal and also to provide a positive pressure resistance to firstly create an air curtain and secondly to entrain airborne dust out of the walkway.,Shearer Scrubber Design,In summary,final design included the following key features as indicated by CFD modelling:The scrubber wa

17、 streamline dust particles;Scrubber exhaust under the ranging arm and tilted 15 towards the face and 45 toward the tailgate.,Shearer Scrubber Design,Figure 6.A 3D view of the final design of the shearer scrubber,Field Trials,The final field trials took place at BMAs Broadmeadow Mine.The dust scrubbe

19、ood,Field Trials,For the scrubber to operate effectively,it had to be capable of being started and stopped via the remote control used by the shearer driver.The oil was supplied via the unused cowl circuit in the valve bank.The problem with this initially was that this circuit was not de-tented.,Fie
20、ld Trials,The shearer scrubber created several operating problems:Problem:The scrubber created overheating problems for the shearer resulting in the shearer reaching the shutdown temperature of 68 degrees after 40 minutes of cutting;Solution:This was rectified by the installation of a shell and tube
21、 heat exchanger which reduced the shearer operating temperature by 6 degrees and allowed the shearer to cut with the scrubber operating;,Field Trials,Problem:The scrubber was continually damaged by hitting unretracted flipper bars;Solution:This was rectified by a unique bi directional hinge system t
22、hat allows the scrubber to remain in an almost horizontal position,thus reducing the potential for flipper collision.,Scrubber Test Results,During the field trial period,dust surveys were conducted to establish the effectiveness of the longwall shearer scrubber on respirable dust reduction for opera
23、tors during cutting operational cycle.Two IS approved Hund instantaneous dust samplers with several parallel gravimetric dust samplers were used along the longwall face at different locations.Four cycles were monitored with the first two undertaken by a day-shift crew and the second two by a night-s

25、scrubber system.A new scrubber system has been designed,manufactured and field trials were successfully conducted at BMAs Broadmeadow Mine.Dust monitoring results concluded that the shearer scrubber monitored will reduce respirable dust exposure of the shearer operator.Dust reduction efficiencies fo
