two-fan auxiliary ventilation

An arrangement, using two auxiliary fans, for ventilating a mine tunnel or hard heading. It consists of an exhausting fan with rigid ducting to within about 100 ft (30 m) of the 3420 face, and a forcing fan using a flexible duct discharging air about 20 ft (6 m) from the face. The ducts of the two units overlap by at least 30 ft (9 m) to minimize the recirculation of air. The air delivered by the forcing fan does not exceed about one-third of that removed by the exhaust fan.
